Day 1 of My Very Own "Happiness Project"

“What you do every day matters more than what you do once in a while.”





So I finally received my book – The Happiness Project. As I am in the 1st stages of starting my own “happiness project” I think I am off to a good start! Although I am only in very beginning of the book starting with January’s resolution (yes I know its March) of –Clear My Closets (boosting my energy) I am very much enlightened with how the book fits right into my life! I am also very eager to start with actions. Last night I even made myself go to bed before 10:30 – which is a hard task for me since I am a night owl.

Result: Woke up early, refreshed at 6am, no fighting with the kids – everyone had a great morning and I even had breakfast with them! After they were off to school I got a 40 min workout in and all done before 9am – Plenty of time to tackle more of my “happiness project”!



As she did in the book – I too have decided to start with tackling the visible clutter first. I have re-arranged my office/living room for what I hope is a more suitable functional space. Also as luck would have it - this was a nagging task/to-do list as well.





Tomorrow- off to clean and organize my actual closet so my bedroom is more a bedroom than a place we shove things when cleaning other parts of the house.



Motivational statement of the day from book:






“I am happy- but I’m not as happy as I should be. I have such a good life; I want to appreciate it more – live up to it better.”



“I complain to much, I get annoyed more than I should. I should be more grateful. I think if I felt happier and/or healthier, I’d behave better.”



**healthier- something I personally added to statement that is a must for my “happiness project”



Off to work on my personal Twelve Commandments
