Okay, I know it sounds so cliché... but are you really happy?
I've been reading Gretchen Rubin's The Happiness Project and I have to admit that I was skeptical about it. Really. Another self-help book promising the secret to a better life? Oh god.
For those who haven't read The Happiness Project, it's a story of one's woman's search for happiness. For each month of the year, she picks an area of her life where she wants to improve her happiness (work, marriage, parenting, etc...) Then during each month, she strives towards accomplishing a handful of resolutions related to the theme of that month.
The whole idea behind The Happiness Project is that it's about the little things in life. It's about not letting life whiz past you without stopping to appreciate everything you have. It's about not wasting time, energy, and resources on things that fill your life with negativity. It's about setting tangible goals for yourself and feeling great once you've accomplished them. It's happiness, really.
So I decided to start my own happiness project... Each month will have a theme and will focus on a different area of my life that I want to improve.
