One month into 2017 already, how crazy time flies when you're having fun! January has been a great month for me and I feel like I've made some lovely memories. I love writing down my days and looking back on what I did. I thought this would be a fun blog project to run all through the year. It's a pretty simple idea really: I just record one happy thing from every day and do a summary each month. The aim is for you to train yourself to see the goodness in every day and focus on the positives. And even when you think the weeks haven't been very exciting, you can take a look back and remember the fun things you got up to.
Here's the first month in my Happiness Project:

What do you think of this idea? I'm loving it so far, it lets me share the things that make me happy. And I get to see just how much I can get up to in a month. Little moments or big ones, it's important to focus on the good times.
Tell me something happy that happend today, or if you have any projects like this.

Aww I love this Steph. I have kept a diary for the last 13 years but it's very basic. Just day to day things that have come in handy for remembering specific dates, especially when filling out Visa paperwork but only recently have I got more into highlighting and making it colourful on days where I really want something to stand out so I know it was a great day! :) I may have to start doing this though as it's right there and easier to see with being one thing! I'm rambling now but I may just have to get myself another notebook and do this! :p It may work out better than my diary as sometimes thats too much to keep up.

I love that you have kept a diary for so long! You're making me really want to put all of these onto paper, maybe in a bullet journal so I can decorate? :D Sounds so cool. Sometimes just writing a sentence or two to remember good days is enough to bring back memories.
DeleteHappy February! Awesome work at the gym by the way :)

I really love this idea, I think it's a really clever but non-intimidating way of appreciating all of the little things. Also, this reminded me that I want to see Passengers!
