We’ve got a question for you: How trusting are you? We’re not just talking about trusting your partner. Every week we’re given opportunities to trust people or not. Trust is not only something you see, it’s something that’s shown to you, says Meik Wiking, CEO of The Happiness Research Institute in Denmark. The more you look for evidence of trust, the more trusting you can feel. So how can we put it into practise?

When we’re anxious our eyes tend to narrow. It’s all got to do with our bodies mimicking our emotions. So when you’re feeling closed off, your vision closes off too. We’re going to explore a simple trick that takes advantage of this – opening our eyes wide to combat anxiety and tension.

How emotional is the right kind of emotional in the workplace? It’s not an easy question to say or to answer. Society no longer expects us to be robots in the office, thank goodness. But there’s still a stigma around sharing our emotions.
