Happiness Project 2016
Here comes the cheese, brace yourselves.
2015 was a hard year for me. I had graduated college the year before and didn't feel like I was where I needed to be in life. I didn't have the career of my dreams and I wasn't living in the city that I had always dreamed about. I had no idea where my life was going or what I was supposed to be doing. This year, I vow to be happier and to not let "quarter life crisis" define me.
Just watched Happy on Netflix and was reminded that being happy starts with the small choices you make in your every day life.
1. Play - do what you love 2. Engage in new experiences 3. Staying connected to friends and family 4. Engage in meaningful acts - be a part of something greater than yourself 5. Appreciate what you have
So based on these 5 principles, I'm going to tweak my resolutions for the year and add some things like meditation learning to play the guitar. Less about making more money or getting a successful job and just doing things day to day that I love. Reaching out to friends and family more and making an effort to see them. Exercising and practicing yoga regularly and traveling (evening if it's just to a new part of town) more. And with a little bit of effort you could do it too!
