A few weeks ago I saw a post on Facebook about a 100 day challenge to find thing's each day that make you happy and that most people that start never finish for one reason or another. So I decided that I was going to take up the challenge and take pictures of what make me happy that day and post them on Facebook. It's been such a great thing for me because I have been in a slump because of choices I've made and also breaking up with a guy that I wanted to marry. I was mad at first and then it was that I didn't understand why I had a guy that wanted to marry me but it was wrong. I've been waiting so long to get married and there was an opportunity and it wasn't right. It's been really hard because I still love him and want to see him but I also feel like that it's just going to make thing's worse for the both of us. He really wants to keep talking and seeing each other but isn't making any effort to do so. I just don't know. So anyways, I started doing this challenge and my days have become better and I've been happier. It's amazing what looking for happy moments in your life can do to your attitude. I'm more positive, happier, look at thing's differently that help me deal with thing's better and I'm able to get through thing's more easily.
After I started doing this I started noticing that I was looking forward to the next day to see what would make me happy. Little thing's like the laughter of the kids I watch,
the sun shining,
my hair getting long,
being able to watch conference,
going to the gym,
which has been a challenge all in it's self to go. But I noticed that when I started feeling happier that my attitude about going to the gym has changed and it's something that I want to do. Not saying that it's easy to go cause there are days that I don't want to go but I'm thankful that I do go cause after I feel so good and feel like I've accomplished something even though it's not a big thing. I also feel that I appreciate those little thing's around me more and because I'm looking for thing's, I see the beauty of God's creation's. I have always love nature and taking pictures, even though I'm not that good but I try, it bring peace to my life. I need to go out more and take random pictures. If you are struggling and need a pick me up start looking for thing's that make you happy and document them. it really does help without a ton of effort.
