January 2016 Goals: My Happiness Project (Energy)


Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a safe (and fun) New Year's Eve. Now that we are in 2016, many people are making a list of resolutions for the entire year. As I discussed in previous posts, I am trying something different this year. I recently read Gretchen Rubin's The Happiness Project and decided to create my own. I have six months of categories that I want to work on this year to improve my happiness. January's category is energy. Like Rubin, I think it is best to start my happiness project in a way that will leave me energized to complete the rest of it. I want to be consistent and form new habits that I can continue to use throughout the course of my life to make me happier.

A Review of 2015

Wow, 2015 is almost over! This year has been full of life changes. From graduating college to accepting life changes, I have learned so much about myself. I am slowly becoming the person I want to be, and I couldn't be more proud of the progress I have made internally this year. Here are some of the highlights from this year.

I got glasses.
I got certified to teach ESL.
I earned a Bachelor's Degree in English at Frostburg State University.
I got a job that required me to work 40+ hours a week.
My brother became a Novice Buddhist Monk.
I did my best to remain optimistic and happy in every situation.
I actually completed one of my New Year's Resolutions. I read 12 books this year.
I almost watched the entire series of Friends (I'm in season 10.)
I cut my hair very short (I prefer long hair, but I wanted to get rid of my security blanket and embrace something new.)
I lived in Philadelphia for one month.
I roadtripped to Ocean City twice with my closest friends.
I went through an episode of depression and opened up to those closest to me about it.
I started blogging again and stuck to my schedule.

What did you accomplish this year?

Adulthood


Hello friends!

I have been busy since we last spoke. I got into AND attended the course that I wanted to take to certify me in Teaching ESL. I learned a lot and made some lifelong friends out of it. Now that I have finished this course, I feel like there are so many things I can do. My dad told me that this is the beauty of being a fresh college graduate. I can do anything I want now. I just have to do it.
