But simply remembering what we can do to lighten up our lives is all the push we need to start making a difference.“I love this book! If you’re looking for ways to change things but lack the framework and focus to do so and need some inspiration along the way, this is the books for you! I really have implemented change because of it. These aren’t difficult goals in fact, some of these are probably already in your life.

This goal has the potential to bring you stress instead of happiness initially, but think about the sudden surge of happiness you will have after having completed that task you had originally set aside. Go to the library and finish the project you have been putting off.

Use a weekend to go on a fun adventure that you have been planning. Take those couple extra hours and make one of the projects you have set aside. You are able to share your happiness and look back at all of the wonderful times as well. We are at the age where we have discovered looking through old photo albums makes us sentimental and quite happy, so why not continue adding happy memories? Or, if keeping up with photo albums is too time consuming, why not use Facebook as a helpful resource? In order to be reminded of all the joy and happiness already in your life try taking pictures or sharing the news with those who care about you. If one is not reminded of a moment, the memory fades. Make sure that you are heard and that they know you care and understand this will help when it comes to trust and building on the relationships you already have. Knowing how they are going to feel about a situation and making it better before it happens will not only make you feel better, but it will also brighten their mood. The point of this is to be able to help those we surround ourselves with before they even really know we are helping. But acknowledging the reality of people’s feelings is different. This chapter was based a lot on parenting, but since I am not one, I took the advice and tweaked it just enough to make it more relatable.Īcknowledging people’s feelings is something we have always been taught to do. It may sound weird or uncomfortable at first, but the more joy you are radiating, the happier yourself and the people around you will be.

Sing along to a song that makes you smile while you wait for the bus or drive to work. Maybe hum an upbeat song while you are making breakfast. Hop out of bed ready for your morning shower and sing some happy tunes to start out the day right. After all, April is all about spring, new beginnings and lightening up.Ī simple task. They are simple changes that will help to liven up your living conditions as well as boost your spirits. Although most of you, myself included, may not be parents, the goals for this month are still attainable and relevant to a change in happiness. “The Happiness Project” this month is based on parenting.
