Yay! We've made it 3 weeks! It's interesting how I've started to look for what has been happy in each day, sometimes having to pick between several moments that were positive for me. I struggle not to focus on what's bothering me and keeping me down. This daily reminder to be happy helps keep me going. It's been reminding me to slow down and cherish the small moments in a day.
When I started this I was (and still am) going through a loss of someone. It's been hard not to be bitter and angry because of hurt. This has reminded me that even when those feelings try and interrupt my happiness I can refocus on the things that are happy. I think it's so important to let nothing steal your joy, but putting that to practice can be difficult. This little once a day activity has reminded me that nothing gets to take the joy away. That even when something is hurting, there are too many reasons in just one day - to let it rob me of my happy.

I've also found myself more motivated to get out and do things when I'm feeling lower. I think to myself that if I'm not feeling happy, I need to go out and make a happy moment. Power of positive thinking!
