Resolutions

As I do every new year, I reflect on the previous year and what I would like for the coming year. This year upon my reflection, I realized that I am not happy when I really should be. There is nothing in my life that is so abhorant that should make me miserable. I find myself being jealous of people (this hasn't happened in several years) and I'm finding it difficult to stop. So, I have been reading a book about a woman who took a year to try to be a happier person. While I am not a fan of the author's style of writing or her need to research everything in books, I think it is a great idea to try to make yourself more happy by thinking, investigating and developing a plan. My goal for this year is to develop my own happiness plan, which I have outlined for myself. Her model focused on adding one goal per month. I decided to start with my perceived problems that will take the longest to accomplish. My goal for this month is physical organization. It would help me immensely to declutter my surroundings and I think that might in itself, create a happier me. I have also decided that I need to lose weight and have already begun my journey, but I am not focusing on that area until next month. Wish me luck!
