The 30 Day Happiness Challenge is here! I am a strong believer in little things making a big impact in our lives, we just don’t always notice it.
So I wanted to make a simple yet effective happiness challenge that wouldn’t take a lot of effort but would be things we could weave into our everyday. They say it takes 30 days to break a habit and you need to make it a habit to be happy! (affiliate links included)
(Make sure you check out the de-clutter challenge, too!)
Take the 30 Day Happiness Challenge
Beyond doing these activities everyday, I suggest two more things as well…
♥ Number one: write down three things you’re thankful for each and everyday. Doing this will train your brain to be looking for the good each day instead of the bad. It is powerful and super effective.
♥ Number two: find some quiet time each day to do some deep breathing and repeat some positive mantras. It really is easy, I promise. Maybe something like, “I am happy. I am strong. I have plenty of money. Good things happen to me.”
Here is The Happiness Challenge.
