The Happiness Project

I am currently reading "The Happiness Project. Or, Why I spent a Year Trying to Sing in the Morning, Clean My Closets, Fight Right, Read Aristotle, and Generally Have More Fun" by Gretchen Rubin. I had to choose a self-help book for an assignment for class and wanted to choose something that I could potentially learn from. I definitely found it and definitely recommend that you read it. Gretchen felt as if she was just watching her life go by, thinking about all of the things she said she'd do and didn't. Gretchen began to wonder what truly made her happy and how she could go about making herself happy. It isn't always easy for Gretchen to chart her behavior and resolutions, but she finds that her resolutions and the tracking does help her to feel happy. She was caught between what she wished she were and who she really was (she felt "stuck").

I am not yet finished with the book, but I definitely wanted to share the book with everyone in blog world. This book seems to be for every day people and how they can improve their lives right now. Often times, I think people think they need to have this big epiphany in order to change their thoughts, feelings, opinions, actions, etc. But in reality, one can change whatever they would like each and every day. Regardless if one makes a choice or doesn't make a choice, one still is making a choice.

Here is a link to The Happiness Project. This is Gretchen's blog about The Happiness Project. I hope that you find it useful in changing the things that you can control, which more often than not is only ourselves and not others!
