The word ‘happiness’ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
 - Carl Gustav Jung

Sometimes we find ourselves in an imbalance. Work stress, relationship problems and past trauma overwhelm us. We feel lost and wonder if there are “tools” that can help us to live a balanced and happy life. Let me introduce you to LUCI.

Here are four “tools” that can help you to :

• L earn how to handle painful thoughts and feelings effectively.
• U nderstand why you are in an unhappy situation.
• C larify what is important and meaningful for you in life.
• I dentify thoughts and behaviours which obstruct you from achieving your goals.

Balance your thoughts with action. If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you’ll never get it done.  - Bruce Lee
