Come on, get happy: A Happiness Challenge

Are you as happy as you could be? Are you as happy as you want to be? I’m here to spark a little extra happiness in your life every day for the next 30 days.

Choosing to be Happy

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, happiness is an inside job. Sometimes happiness comes easy and sometimes not so much. It’s easy to feel happy when life goes your way but what about when things aren’t they way you want them to be. Are you waiting for life to get good to be happy? Just stop that right now! Stop waiting for happiness and make a choice to be happy today.

Happiness is a daily practice. Sometimes happiness is even a little work, but like most things the more we do them, the easier they become.

I became happier in life by choosing happiness each day, and every time I made that choice I found happiness came easier to me- I felt happier without even thinking about it!

What does it mean to choose happiness, really?  It starts with letting happiness in. Are you open to the small moments of joy around you? Do you make a mental note of the many beautiful, inspiring, and amazing things you encounter every day? I encourage you to open your senses to the good things in your world. What do you see, touch, smell, hear? What do you feel? Make note of all the little things that you enjoy. You start by choosing to be happy.

“Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.” ~Abraham Lincoln

The Happiness Challenge

Making a choice to be happy doesn’t always result in immediate happiness, does it? To celebrate my 100th post on Live Love Work I have a happiness challenge for you! I hope you’ll join me in choosing happiness for the next 30 days. Here’s how it works:

Every day make note of something in your life that brings you happiness corresponding to the theme for that day.

This can be a photo challenge or a writing challenge. Snap a picture of your happiness or write a few words about it. However you choose to participate I do hope you’ll share your happiness! I’ll be sharing my happiness on Facebook and Twitter with the tag #liveworkhappy . I’ll get us started:
