Hello. and welcome. As promised, I have my monthly happiness worksheet. It is a bit late. and unfortunately all I can say, is that, I have not been 'happy' or able to focus on anything 'good' for a few weeks. But, I am happy to say (sorry for the pun) that I am making happiness a priority, again. Hopefully this time, with a bit more gumption. {smile}
As a few of you know, life has given me a new 'test', and I plan on winning! So with that being said, let's get on with this monthly happiness challenge!
As you can see, my monthly happiness challenge, did not start at the beginning of the month. But, please don't let that stop you. These are tasks, that if done one day at a time, will bring a ray of sunshine into your life, and hopefully that will cause you to smile, to bask in the glow, to exhale some negativity, and to regain some sense of balance/order in your life. Or simply give you respite from gloom.
I have some repeating tasks from previous weeks/months, only to illustrate that some of these things/items are not simply one and done. But rather a repeating venture to keep you on track.
For instance, working on a personal goal. That goal is for you to decide. Me, it ranges from running, to getting a menu planned on time, to continue to be a team player at work.
Looking at your retirement goals/strategies, will help keep you on track for that next chapter in your life. Making sure you are doing today, what needs to be done, so you can enjoy your future with less stress, will keep you on track of your happiness.
Organizing a space, de-clutters your world today. And that in turn brings peace, and joy. Selecting/creating a card for someone who may need it, or you may need to do it, will bring joy to two people - you and the recipient. Now, how sweet is that?
I believe that family is important, so that is why I have a task that includes your family. But, if you can't visit your parents, what about a sibling, or an aunt, or a cousin? Keeping in touch with your family will keep you grounded, and nurturing your 'roots'. And we all need a strong foundation, for which enables us to 'stand'.
Looking at your finances, is difficult. But keeping track of your money is a priority in life. Make it a challenge! See where you can cut back, and use that 'saved' money for something special, or simply add it to your retirement fund.
I am working on getting back into my craft room, but for now, it is baby steps. Life gives us challenges, and we need to find our strengths to stand at the plate, and swing for the fence! We need to listen to our own voice, to give ourselves permission to do what we need to get done. I hope you all are well, and making the most of this life. I am still struggling, but I will conquer my obstacles/doubts. It's a slow process for me, but one I will win! Take care of yourselves, and thank you for all your kind words, and support!
