March 2016 Goals: My Happiness Project (Spiritual)

What's up everyone! I hope you all are doing well on this beautiful day! Today's post is all about my goals for the month of March. If you're new here, I'm following my own Happiness Project this year, with different goals for each month. I'll link my book review to The Happiness Project here. This book inspired me to do something different from making a list of resolutions that I won't keep at the beginning of the year. This project holds me accountable, as I have to continuously look at my goals to make sure I am completing them. I'll have links to all of my posts about My Happiness Project linked at the bottom of this post. So, without further ado, let's dive into what's in store for March.

My Happiness Project: February 2016 (Writing) Goals Review


Hi, everyone!

It's that time again for an update on My Happiness Project! This month was all about writing, which means I was SUPER excited to get started. I'm going to go into detail on all of my specific goals in this category and how well I kept up my January Goals. If you're curious about the book that inspired me to make my own happiness project, you can find my book review on it here. Let's get starteddd!

February 2016 Goals: My Happiness Project (Writing)


Hello! I'm so excited for this month because the focus is on writing! Writing is without a doubt my favorite thing in this world. It helps me express myself in a way that is unexplainable. It is the only thing that has always made sense to me and something I never have to question. So, what do I want to work on with writing this month?

My Happines Project: January 2016 (Energy) Goals Review

January 2016 Monthly Favorites

Wow! I cannot believe the first month of 2016 is coming to an end! I've had an interesting month to say the least. I was sick and then contracted pink eye (most likely from rubbing my eyes with my dirty hands while at work), visited my grandparent's old house where I spent a good part of my childhood, had my first experience with working the night shift, survived #Snowmaggedon2016, and
much more!

Unedited Thoughts Vol. 1

Hi, everyone!

Today was going to be a planned post, but then I decided to switch things up and do a thoughts post, where I update you and talk about my recent thoughts.

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.

My Happiness Project: An Overview for 2016



I recently read The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin and became inspired to make my own happiness project for the upcoming year. The difference between Rubin's project and mine is that I will only be doing six months of different categories rather than twelve. I will follow the first six months of categories the last six months. When I started working on my own happiness project, I realized that many of the things I wanted to work on could be combined. I ended up six categories that I don't think are too difficult to maintain.

Book Review: The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin

Today's post is a book review of Gretchen Rubin's The Happiness Project. If you have read some of my previous posts you will know that I have been interested in starting my own happiness project for quite some time now. I decided to read this book to see if a happiness project was something that would be worth doing as opposed to making a group of resolutions at the beginning of the year that I never succeed at completing.

To give a brief summary, Rubin came up with the idea of a happiness project while on the subway. She saw her life passing by and wasn't sure if she was as happy as she could be. She came up with eleven categories and resolutions to go in each category. One category would be the highlight of each month, and she would add January's category with February, and then January and February with March, and so forth until she had to keep up all of her resolutions in December.

If you would like more of a summary of this book, I will link the book's Amazon page here.

Do not keep reading unless you have read the book or spoilers excite you.
