my personal happiness project

Happy New Year… :3

last any other year, throught out the year, i ussually had some personal project that i do… until i got bored and tired about it…

a couple of years a go, i was doing The Magic by Rhonda Bryne, it's about of being grateful of everything…

every morning, i was writing 10 things i'm grateful about and also on the evening before i sleep, i looked back at my days and i was thanking God for everything that day…

at some point, i'm stopped… the things that i still do are signing my receipt and write "thank you paid" and signing my credit card receipt and write "thank you for the money"…

hehe… did they took effect? i don't know… but i like the idea of being thankful :D

and this year… i want to start The Happiness Project based on the book by Gretchen Rubin… i don't know when i sew the book for the first time, i hooked by it… eventhough, i didn't buy it right away, still i thought of buying it…

and then, i thought that i needed to buy the book, i bought it and thought that i want to start the project by the new year, since the project is on monthly basis…

but then, i just remember it yesterday… and i have read the opening chapter…

maybe, you would asked why would i want to have such project, am i being unhappy? well… the answer can be yes or no…

surely there are a few of unfortunately things happened in my life, that can not be revised… but i guess they are not the reason i should be always unhappy about… because they are also so many other things that are very great in my life… :D

such as… i still breath, not feeling any pain, considerably healthy, i have my life, a job, a loving husband and family… still can read great books, have many sophisticated gadgets [haha… lebay!!]… and other great things such as friends and hobbies…

but somethings, i live my life… just like that, i want more in my life… and i believe happiness bring more in my life… just like the author said in this book…

Happy people are more altruistic, more productive, more helpful, more likable, more creative, more resilient, more interested in others, friendlier, and healthier. Happy people make better friends, colleagues, and citizens. I wanted to be one of those people.

yeah!! me too…

this book will surely about the author, as she said, every one have their own view of the most important element of happiness and can adjust the resolutions personally…

i haven't really think about how i will do my personal project… not like the author whom already did her reasearch… i guess i'll just tag along with her…

there will be 12 different resolutions for each month, the last month, on December, we'll review our achievement…

i'll read every resolution/chapter of each month at the beginning of a month, and i'll decide if i want to do exactly what the author did in those specific month or decide that i want to something else at that month…

and i'll write about it… maybe at the end of the month or as much as i want to share… but at least i'll write one entry about it…

this is my opening entry, i'll come back later with January review… it's about Boost Energy: Vitality

see you when i see you...
