Happiness Year

It had always been a goal of mine to live a 'Happiness Year'. An year dedicated to the pursuit of happiness. Like some difficult things, I had always put it off, delayed it until the time felt 'right'. Problem is sometimes that time never comes.

Today marks the first day of my Happiness Year. I know it is not an easy task where you simply flick on a happiness switch. There will be good times and bad times. The idea is to make each time a happy time. I see it akin to re-wiring the brain to be in a happy state of mind, being positive and optimistic, despite the situation you are in. I will have to read up on the principles I have learnt and train myself to be happy.

(In this Happiness Year, my goal is to have a happy faced day each week. I aim to achieve 50 happy faced days to 5 sad faced days.)

Perhaps at the end of this year I will decide that it is something I want to continue. Let the year begin.
