I devoured the book, following the author, Gretchen Rubin, through on year of resolutions to make herself happier. I found myself agreeing with so much of what she said. In the book, Gretchen picks a different resolution for each month. One month she focuses on organization, her husband, her children, trying new things, etc.. All in the hopes of finding if these actions made her happy.
As I read, many resonated with me. Specifically, attacking nagging tasks, exercising, being a "treasure house of memories." These are things that make me happy too. I was inspired to begin a happiness journal. Each day I record short phrases or words about what made me happy that day or blessings I am thankful for. I am really enjoying the process of looking at the big things, but also the little things too. Yesterday it was, burritos, clean sheets, and Yark. I feel happier when I think of all the things I have and not the things I don't.
I really recommend this book, even if you are happy! Its great food for thought.
Today, choose happiness!
