100 % Happiness D Part 1

Daily Tasks

List what is positive about taking care of daily taxes: 

It can lead to a sense of accomplishment and sense of routine which can be soothing especially to people with anxiety disorders. It can help build mastery because if you do the same things you get good at it (usually). It can also help others and foster relationships between family and friends.

                                                      Dare

What are you going to dare to do this week? 

• Approach someone I don’t know (this weekend is my best friend’s wedding. I’m close to the bride and the groom. Maybe I’ll introduce myself to her maid of honor or his mother. Maybe I’ll tell someone I like their dress. Introducing and complimenting does come naturally to me).

Write down the times you have dared to do something.

I have gone to youth groups, library groups and poetry slams not knowing a soul. This is how I met my best friends and sometimes a boyfriend or two

What were the results?I became closer to my new friends and to God and myself. I barely knew what slam poetry was before I showed up on that infamous women’s slam and the founder invited me out to pizza after with the other poets. And that’s how it all started.

                                                               Decision

What decision could you make starting today

• Be more flexible (yes)Be more positive (yes)

• Be more patient (yes)

• Show more gratitude (yes)

• Give up smoking (no)

• Pat attention to what you eat (yes)

• Live out a passion (perhaps)

• Change your job (yes)

• Make a dream come true (perhaps)

I am often rigid once plans have been cemented. Unless we decide to introduce food I’m usually against it. But I’m trying to get over that. One of my April resolutions is to be more patIent. Slow people, loud toddlers and repetitive questions irritate as well as people who can’t hold a conversation. So yeah I have alot of work cut out for me. I will also try to be positive and work on showing gratitude.
