Personal Happiness Project

Well I am just a few days away from starting my career and while I should be happy and overjoyed in the back of my mind I am mentally so negative these days. I want to lose all this weight and be such a different person but I have come to realize its going to be a long hard journey so I need to work on getting back to the happy person I know I can be so I have decided to make my own happiness project. I started out by making a list of things that make me happy and then took those and turned it into my happiness project. 

 

I broke my list down into categories of how often I would like to do things:

Daily: I want to work on my faith starting with getting back to having quiet time doing a devotional and journaling about what I am struggling with and whats is going great. My new devotional book and journal are pictured above. I also daily want to make an effort to being more grateful for all I have. The third thing I want to try and do daily is to "let my light shine" my youth minister used to always say I had a fire in my eyes that could improve everyones day I want that back. 

Weekly: I want to take 1 hour minimum for myself it can be anything from reading to going to get my nails done. I also want to weekly get back into a church. I grew up being at church 2 or more days a week doing every activity possible but as I moved on to college my church made some major changes that I really dont like so I am hoping to get involved with a new church who has a large young adult population. The third thing I really want to work on doing weekly is blogging!! I love writing even though I am not very good at it. 

Monthly: Once a month or more I want to do something for others. I have always enjoyed helping others and volunteering so I have decided once a month I want to volunteer some where if I can and if I cant atleast by a meal or coffee for someone to brighten their day. I also want to tackle a new organization project a month just because an organized home leads to an organized mind for me. The third thing I want to do monthly is something to further my education. It can be anything from a blogging class to something having to do with my nursing career. I just love learning. The final thing I want to do monthly is to get out and do something fun that can either be with my niece zoe, by myself, or hopefully with friends I meet. 

My goals for this project is to in general be happier, gain more knowledge, grow stronger in my faith, and to meet some new friends since all of my other friends have spread out all over the country, 

I would love for all of you to join me on your own personal happiness project. Make your own list and leave it in the comments if you dont just let us know that you are joining in. 

Let us all grow in leaps and bounds over these next few months!!
