Gratitude. An important little aspect of life that many people seem to forget exists beyond a shallow "thank you" now and then. So for the month of February, my Happiness Project will focus on gratitude, and each week will have a new goal centered on or around being grateful. This last month (January), I spent a bunch of time thinking about how to execute this project.
February has been my most dreaded month for years. This is because every year, February is accompanied by fat little cherubs and chocolate hearts. Valentines Day is the bane of my existence. Or it has been in years past. However, this year, I am going to focus on the friends and family that I have, instead of the relationships I don't have. The first week I'll focus on noticing things I am grateful for every day. The second week is going to focus on acknowledging the things I am grateful for, and the third week will be centered on giving back to others.
It's important to recognize and notice what I have and then try to offer something in return. That way, when bad things happen, I always know that I have things to be grateful for, and that I'm lucky to be as fortunate as I am.
