Monthly Resolutions

I have decided to do my own happiness project / 6 months of resolutions. This will take me right into the summer, and June's resolution will put me right where I want to be for a summer of fun. I need the motivation to put the things for "Catrin" in order. Because I want change and only I can make it happen. Every month, as with Gretchen Rubin's Happiness Project, there will be a theme.

Monthly Resolution Themes

January - Boost Energy
February - Love Your Family
March - Cultivate Your Mind
April - Get The House in Order
May - Friendship's
June - Outdoor Adventures

While I work on each month's resolutions I am also going to try and be mindful of Happy Home Habits that will help me achieve happiness for my OCD-like tendencies.

Happy Home Habits

1. Practice tidying up every night before bed.
2. Use what we have  - Get rid of what we don't need.
3. Sleep 7 hours every night.
4. Act more energetic.
5. Take time for projects
6. Decorate our home so people know who lives here.
7. Be mindful of my minimalist tendencies - accept some, overcome others.
8. No more complaining about small things.
9. Be positive whenever possible.
10. Smile whenever possible.

I am sure I will add to my Happy Home Habits but for now these are the things I really need to work on. I am going to try and not put too much pressure on myself to be perfect with these things, but I am going to try and stick with new habits for at least 30 days. See if that helps my year reach its much needed goals.
