It's February, so the first month of the new year is over. What was your New Year’s resolution? I’m curious about what resolutions people are making. One reader wrote me that her resolution was to “Write shorter emails.” I love that! I’m adopting that for myself.
What resolution did you make? Have you made it in other years? I find that many of my resolutions crop up year after year.
Having made a resolution -- are you still keeping it? Why or why not? Did you find any strategy that helped you stick to a resolution? For me, the Resolutions Chart has been the key to sticking to my resolutions.
* 2010 Happiness Challenge: For those of you following the 2010 Happiness Project Challenge, to make 2010 a happier year, this month’s focus is Love. Last week’s resolution, in the month of Energy, was to Tackle a nagging task. Did you try to follow that resolution? Did it help to boost your happiness?
If you're new, here’s information on the 2010 Happiness Challenge (or watch the intro video). It’s never too late to start! You’re not behind, jump in right now, sign up here. For more ideas, check out the Happiness Project site on Woman’s Day.
* I love reading about books, so I was very happy to discover Book Snob.
* Interested in starting your own happiness project? If you’d like to take a look at my personal Resolutions Chart, for inspiration, just email me at gretchenrubin1 [at] gmail [.com] -- and don't forget the "1". (Sorry about writing it in that roundabout way; I’m trying to thwart spammers.) Just write “Resolutions Chart” in the subject line.
