We are starting a new thing in our family tomorrow morning...we are each going to write down 3 things that we are grateful for. I watched this amazing video on Friday Shawn Achor - Happiness Talk. It is a must watch!!!
I have spent most of my life saying "If I was, or If I could just something I would be happy" As I have been getting to know myself better over the past few weeks, what I have learned is, nothing will "make" me happy. Just like they say to teenagers "No one can 'make' you do anything you don't 'want' to do". It is the same with happiness. Nothing can "make" you happy, you can choose happiness, you can create your own and you can help others create it!
I am looking forward to watching the change over the next several weeks as my little family makes our new focus "creating Happiness".
There are so many things we are reminded of daily that we need to do. Why would be not want to start each of those "jobs/tasks" with Happiness...let everything else follow. I imagine that being a parent will still be hard, but if as a team we are focused on positivity and creating happiness things are bound to be a little easier, and my greatest hope is MORE FUN!!!
