With the new year quickly approaching, it seems to be a time of reflection for most of us. I'm sure we all ask ourselves how we can make our lives happier. Author, Gretchen Rubin, was sitting on the bus one rainy afternoon and decided that she wasn't as happy as she could be. She decided to dedicate a year to happiness.
So she wrote a book called, The Happiness Project
, which
"weaves together philosophy, scientific research, analysis, and
real-life experiences as she explains what worked for her and what didn't". Has anyone read this book yet? I'm curious to find out what her conclusions were. She has also created a Happiness Project Toolbox, a free collection of eight online tools to help you make changes in your life, set goals, keep resolutions, and stay organized. All designed to boost your happiness.
Now, I'm all for setting goals and striving to achieve them. And I'm a big believer in taking action to change your life. But I think I'd like to try something a bit different this year. I'm going to let go. I've worked hard and I've put my wants and needs out there. It's time for them to find their way back to me. :)
