Happiness Advantage Challenge!

 The Happiness Advantage by Shawn Achor is a PBS special I watched this week. There is also a book of the same name. 

Shawn is a researcher who studies happiness. His findings are pretty hard to dispute! So based on his research comes the challenge. Are you willing to take the challenge with me? Here it is! Let me know how it goes!

Choose one to do for the next 21 days:
1. Write down 3 things at the end of the day that you are grateful for that are specific and happened over the past 24 hours.
2. Write for two minutes at the end of the day aout one thing that happened that day that made you happy, grateful thankful etc. Write about it in detail. I.E. If it was a grea

t sunset, where were you, what did it look like, what time was it etc. 

3. Spend 15 minutes a day doing something FUN and ACTIVE. For example a great walk, gardening etc. 

4. Meditate on something that as recently made you happy. Just sit still, and spend two minutes thinking about a recent event or person that you are grateful for. Just like step two think about every detail of that event of person. 5. Every day spend a total of two minutes writing to someone or telling them in person how you are grateful for them and be specifc of the why. Has to be a different person everyday.

Ok so that's your challenge. 21 days straight. No days off, just pick one...and away you go!
