Happiness Challenge

A couple of day ago I was going through my facebook feed and an old friend from school posted about a happiness challenge. Curious I clicked on the link and after reading about it I knew I wanted to take part. I'm usually a happy person who hates confrontation and I don't like to dwell in small daily problems but lately I have noticed that I've let small things get under my skin and forget to stop and smell the roses.

Basically, the happiness challenge consists of taking pictures of anything and everything that makes you happy. It can be anything from your puppy, your morning coffee, laying on the couch, you name it, if it makes you happy you snap a picture of it. Post your pictures on twitter, instagram or facebook or all 3 with the hashtag #100happy days. The purpose of the challenge is not to compete with others or to try and make other jealous with your pictures.

The point of the challenge is to:

- stop for a brief time and really enjoy the small or big things that make you happy each and every day
- forget about the small things that have brought your mood down
- become optimistic
- appreciate the people that bring a happiness to your day
- take a break from the hustle and bustle of life

According to the challenge website, 71% of people have tried to complete the challenge but were unsuccessful because of a lack of time. I thought the number was a little high but soon I realized that I too was falling into this statistic. I was supposed to start the challenge on Monday but for one reason or another I kept putting it off and it was because I had no "time" for it. Well, it's about time I start making time and realize that happiness is everywhere if you really look for it.

If you would like to join me with this challenge head to http://100happydays.com/ and register. It's easy and only takes 1 minute and then start snapping away to a happier life!
