AppreciationWhere do you find your gratitude? For Shonette gratitude feels like a platitude. It’s far easier to find gratitude when you’ve got a set time to look for it. But where on earth do you find gratitude if you are in the middle of a lemon sucker onslaught? Maybe it’s time to take gratitude and turn it in to appreciation. It’s far deeper than simply saying thank you or I am grateful. And let’s start with you. What do you appreciate about yourself?  And do you show appreciation to others?If you want to find out more about Zig Ziglar and his wheel of life you can check it out here…Appreciation is beginning to change Shonette’s life and she wants you to try it and let her know how it goes.You can get in touch with Shonette @basonshonette on Instagram@Shonette Bason - Wood on facebook @ShonetteBason on TwitterMusic used under creative commons license.

Shonette’s been having a wild week! But it’s taken her a while to recover from being with people who drained her happiness to ZERO!Shonette met somebody at an event recently who took an instant dislike to her. And she was very rude too.But it’s ok because with a bit of wand therapy Shonette found it all quite amusing. The next day at this event the room was full of negativity and Shonette’s happiness and positivity was sucked dry! The good news is this helped Shonette realise just how lucky she is to have so many positive people in her life, her family and her team.Who do you have in your life who is positive? Who are the Lemon Suckers?Shonette has decided when she meets rude people she is going to challenge them and tell them they are rude!

Sit down, grab a brew because Shonette has some things to say about World Book Day. Or maybe it should be called World Dress Up As A Character (Not Always From A Book) Day instead?But what World Book Day does do is show Lemon Suckers who normally act all Lemon Sucky about dressing up that yes they can have fun too! We all have the potential to have fun so why so many people wait until we have permission?Let's all have more fun because having fun is what we all remember and maybe read some books to get inspired every day rather than World Book Day!Don't forget to check out Shonette's website If you want to hit her up on insta it's @basonshonetteTwitter is @ShonetteBasonShonette's books can be downloaded onto your kindle hereAmy Bradley who does Shonette's brilliant illustrations has her website hereMusic used under creative commons license.

Shonette is a big fan of the phrase "don't let people (or silly things) steal your happiness". She was reminded of this last week at an event she was speaking at. One of the attendees was crying during the happiness workshop and it turned out to be down to something somebody had said to her previously but she'd been going over and over and over it in her head.Now Shonette admits she is one of the worst offenders for "doing her own head in" because of others or situations she's got not much control over.So how can you learn from Shonette to stop doing your own head in and being your own worst lemon sucker?Well Shonette turns to another phrase in these moments "it is what it is" and in this episode of Happiness Injection she'll explain how this works and you'll hear her bonus icing on the cake mantra to use in partnership with "it is what it is".A note from Charlotte the podcast women - in answer to Shonette's question - No. Not really, but we can
