'We can’t always be happy. Pleasure is a relative state, contrasted by discomfort and pain. In between fleeting, pleasing moments are many challenging ones that make happiness a relief. So, to be happy, you have to first learn how to be strong; to pick yourself up after a fall, detach from sadness when you don’t succeed, and find the will to persist instead of getting depressed when things go awry, which they often will.' https://qz.com/1289236/resilience-is-the-new-happiness/

To be happy, you have to first learn how to be strong.

I am seeing regular posts about being a healthy snack. They must be doing some good marketing campaigns around here. Don't be fooled by labels such as 'vegan', 'dairy free'. Its easy to associate those with 'health foods' but of course this is far from the truth. Here is a list of ingredients (where is the 'healthy' ingredient?):
Sugar,
Glucose Syrup,
Modified Starch,
6% Strawberry Juice from Concentrate,
4% Coconut Water from Concentrate,
Malic Acid,
Citric Acid,
Lactic Acid,
Potato Protein,
Natural Flavourings,
Fruit and Plant Concentrates (Black Carrot, Sweet Potato, Apple),
Acidity Regulator: Calcium Carbonate,
Fully Hydrogenated Sunflower Oil,
Hydrolysed Pea Protein

An apple or a bowl of strawberries would make for a great alternative. Processing reduces the fiber, vitamin and mineral content, while it increases the energy (calories) by adding sugar and further additives.

Know the importance of your sleep! It affects our hunger and insulin sensitivity and therefore makes us prone to weight gain if we chronically 'undersleep'. Unfortunately, studies show that weekend sleep catchup isn't effective 😔
