I have been in a bit of a slump lately. I am not sure if it because winter seems to go on forever and ever or if I am just in a rut. Lat year I had read The Happiness Project and decided to do my own. It worked. Now I am going to do it again to pull myself whatever quagmire I have fallen into. I will dub this the Happiness Project 2.0.
I am starting this week and for my first month I will focus on doing Flylady. I am horrible at keeping my apt as clean and organized as I should and it causes me lots of anxiety. Way back in the day when I lived with my ex and I was in the midst of attempting my failed housewife project I followed Flylady faithfully and found my mother was right. A clean and orderly home does make for a calmer mind. So I am telling myself I am worth it and I will get this apt in order and keep it that way.
It is said that it takes 21 days to make a habit stick. It is also said that you only have so much willpower to focus on changing habits. That’s why I am picking one a month.
Apart from being a voracious reader, I am also a die-hard gamer. I found a site SuperBetter and it has made quitting smoking and losing weight almost fun and easy. I will add-on my own quests and such to make it match the Flylady website.
I am looking forward to seeing where this will take me. Although I think I need to state that I am not depressed or unhappy, I just feel that I could be happier than what I am. If you are depressed this may not work for you but if you are simply wanting to be as happy as possible in the situation you are in now then this is the perfect thing to do. Lets see what Happiness 2.0 has to offer me.
