Happiness Project

For 2015 my only resolution is to better myself, whatever ways possible. I decided not to make a list a mile long of things I will probably never commit to. This way it's easy and anything I do will better myself. I am starting out with creating my own Happiness project. I have a new objective every month to try and better myself with. I just finished reading "The Happiness Project" by Gretchen Rubin. This book has been the most eye opening book i've ever read. She has inspired me to really want to change a lot about myself emotionally and mentally, not that much psychically because that's not what this is about. It's not about how you look it's about how you feel about yourself. I've kind of used her happiness project as my outline with doing almost the exact same resolutions during the months, but how I achieve them might be a little bit different. I was amazing that there was someone else out there that was going through some of the same stuff that I was going through or even just felt like on a day to day basis. Thank you Gretchen Rubin for writing this book and speaking to millions of reading all across the world, including myself.

I have broken down the months into categories. I only have gotten through May but I'm sure as the months go on I will find things that I need to work on to make myself happier.

January: All About Energy
     I will be spending all of January trying to give myself more energy. Starting to take a multi vitamin again, reading more, less TV, more walking and exercising, healthier eating and such things of that nature.

February: What I Love About Your Love
    February is all about really showing the people who I love dearly that I do love them. I need to better relationships with them such as spending more one on one time with them and just being there for them like they have been there for me for so many years.

March: The Sky's The Limit
     March is when I really sit down and figure out what I want to do with my education. Do I want to pursue more than one degree? Do I want to do a multi subject credentialed teacher? Basically about my future.

April: Lighten The Mood
    This month is probably the most important for me. I really need to learn how to not let the little things get under my skin. To brush off the little things and really focus on what matters. I need to find different way to displace my angry or disappointment instead of yelling or getting angry for things that really don't need to be a big deal.

May: You Only Get One Mind
    This month I want to really focus on keeping my mind at ease. Mostly through meditation and yoga. I used to be a very calm and laid back person, but now I am all worked up and tense and having a lot of stress. Stress is not good for anyone. I really want to get rid of it.
