I am currently reading The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin for Book Club and I am loving it. I am all for self-development and learning, so this book is of particular interest to me as it's all about being happy with what you have and enjoying being in the now. We all know that it's the small things in life that truly matter, but its very easy to constantly focus on the endless strive for "bigger" and "better" and I am the first to admit that. I know the endless pressure that I personally put on myself (and I have done a lot of personal development in my time so can only imagine what other people are like) and see the same in Hubs and we are from both Gen X and Y so it's clearly not just a "new generation" thing.
With my new job being way more demanding on my time and a LOT more energy draining, I have deceided against my initial plan to do another 365 day blog for 2010-2011, but instead I might work towards my own personal Happiness Project and document it along the way. It's one of the ideas I am tossing up at the moment.
I am naturally a very happy and positive person, I have no reason not to be really. I have had an amazing and extremely fortunate up-bringing filled with love, I have always been really lucky to have loyal and caring friends come in and out of my life, I have a gorgeous partner who I have shared a wonderful past 10 years with, I have three very special furkids - one in-particular who brings ridiculous joy into my life, I live in a beautiful home and have a pretty spectacular job.
However as majority of you know, these last few years have really zapped me beyond belief and challenged me emotionally more than ever before. I am definitely getting back on track and feeling a thousand times better and I think doing a personal Happiness Project is the final element I need to feel 100% back, carefree and ultimately completely happy. xx
