Happiness Project Toolbox

My ideal and the reality of something will never match. Perfectionism is not conducive to happiness. It is ok to make mistakes, ask for help and accept that you've done your best.

Since you did not do the work required to become someone else, don't regret who you are now.

Don't waste energy reliving and reacting to anything that happened in the past.

Following through with something is less mentally and emotionally taxing, than is backing out of it.

Deal with things as soon as you can. No putting it off. You know when you are lying to yourself. You will feel much happier when get going and get started.

Clean your Bedroom... Top to bottom... even rearranging the furniture; brightens my entire day and gives me the most restful sleep I could hope for... DOUBLE WIN

Spending beyond my means feels ten times worse when I have to deal with the consequences. Better to be frugal, and deal with the knowledge that I am protecting myself.

Don't let others determine your mood or happiness. There are always going to be reasons to get upset. Choose in your own heart.

- By doing a little bit each day, allot can be accomplished - Others don't notice your mistakes as much as you do - Layer - What you do every day matters more than what you do once in a while - Implement change for your own happiness

Stop trying on pants at Old Navy. They have never looked good and will never look good on me. Shop at places that make me happy.
