Happiness Project Toolbox

Here is to NEW BEGINNINGS! A new work out program! A support group for people going through divorce AND a new attitude. It's all in the approach... I will not be beaten down, I will step up!

Just realized that I love a Man who will always let me down and that is not a love that will work. We are on 2 different wave lengths, I can only hope that the future brings happyiness for us both.

I understand we SHOULD love what we do but sometimes we just HAVE to do what we do out of pure responsibility and find a sense of peace and comfort in that. Not everyone in the world has the luxury of loving their work, unfortunately.

Some days really do feel like the end of the world. Gotta keep positive even though everything around me is unsure. Not sure how to do that...

Although the heat of summer is sneaking up on us, which I dread, I'm going to keep my attitude positive and find a way to appreciate it instead of resenting every second... It's all about perception. I can do this!

I still don't feel like socializing. It's been a long time. I do feel better in general though. The layers of stress and anxiety slowly peeling back allowing the light to peak in. I think I smile a bit more now. I feel a bit lighter.

Struggeling with my confidence as a Mom today, some days I feel less like the Mom I wished I could be all the time! Just keep strong and carry on, tomorrow is a new day!

A little slow today, tired. I exercised most of the weekend but didn't make it today. Feeling a bit better about my weight lately but could be doing better on my goals. Will approach with a renewed commitment for this week!

I'm so tired and confused... Life isn't always simple I have made many choices that I would change now - had I known... Or, did I know and ignore what I knew? Follow your instinct it's there for a reason, wished I had. Make it right

It's a crazy week and today I feel like I crashed after work, tired and foggy in the head, wanted to work out and feel better but didn't, there's always tomorrow...

Scared, time is marching on and I fear the future - I find it hard to stay present lately.

Trying to not complicate things, stay present and be mindful. This toolbox puts me back in line when I'm drifting... Thank God!

I learned something this weekend; one cannot forget the past without the beliefe that the future will be better or, at least free from the cycles of the past. I find this very true; the fear, true or not, will keep you in the past..

Got a scale 3 days ago and realized I have put on at least 10lbs in the last 3 months < sob >. Since then i have lost 2!! I can't stand myself fat, so the journey begins - lose the excess! My body is sore from working out but whatever it takes.

Time goes so fast I'm having a hard time enjoying my favorite time of the year because I'm dreading it passing too fast! Slooooowwww Doooowwwn!! Please :)

Loving the weather and the short days but that could be b/c I'm a little in the dumps lately. Need to get involved in life!

3 months in, it goes fast.. I'm feeling better and more confident. It's busy and hard being a single mom but - I'm good, I'm really good. I gotta pace myself, but I'm getting along, feeling better each day.

i wished I had the magic wand that makes everything ok... I need to get it through to myself that I can't make others happy and sometimes my truth is not theirs, this causes pain - for them and guilt / pain for me. :(

6 weeks into my new life... Things going as well as can be expected. I find myself beginning to think that life is short and I need to really try hard to appreciate and pull the life out of every single day, not waste it on worry, stress - enjoy!

'Rain' by Creed got me through the toughest time in my life... It's ok to let the rain fall, let it fall and wash everything away. With every tomorrow comes another life!! I made the hardest dec. in my life b/c it gave me the beliefe it wld be ok..

i'm smiling more now, with each day comes a new life. :) Keep moving forward, the goal in mind.

I got some clarity today, it was not ideal but it was the truth and in order for me to become stronger and confident I need to see and feel the truth. I can only hope that it will still mean a positive ending / new beginning... :)

Each day is a step forward, even though sometimes it doesn't feel like it, if you keep your mind and heart on your goal you will move forward. Visualization is a great tool to moving toward a goal.

My new goal is to step out of the space I have been in with a confident stride to what needs to be done. Life does not stop for those who feel sorry for themselves, time to move on.

Today was up and down, some challenges presenting themselves. I have to stay confident and focused, show love even when others are spiteful - it will come back to me sooner or later.

Each day gets a tiny bit easier. Setting daily goals and accomplishing them is a great feeling b/c then I do not feel as overwhelmed and I can relax.

Trying ot keep my own spirits up but secretly fantasizing someone would come up to me and say all the magic words that assures me everything is how it should be and it will all be ok.

Sometimes it's hard to only see one step at a time, but I'm learning. Sometimes that step is a sad one but it's ok - it's part of the process, a hard part but a step that cannot be skipped or walked around. One must go thru the rain.

Big day today - move in.. It was up, it was down it was all around but tonight as I sit here I'm feeling more at home and so is my son that's all I can ask for.

Well thought this day would go much different than it did and I was pleasantly suprised... Weird very weird day but I think - hope a bright new beginning... More to come.

Today was one of the hardest days in my life. There is no going back now, just a new journey to go forward into....

Still working up the courage to take that step, it's there somewhere - it will come...

What is the next step and when is it ok to take that step? Risk and going out of my comfort zone is not something I'm good at, at ALL. But, at some point, when your lost you need to take action to find what's missing - it's a risk to venture out.

Never heard it described like this before. 'Marriage is the triumph of hope over experience.' Kinda puts a new perspective on it.

Today I feel strong I feel like I'm starting to let it sink in that I don't need permission from others to do what's best for my life. I'm beginning to understand I can make that decision and its so that I can be a better person to myself and others

Today the fog seemed to lift and the clouds part. I felt present and kept myself centered. I'm organizing my home and simplifying my life, it felt good today... Keep present!

Understanding and accepting that clouds are a part of life and I'm going to make a conscience choice to see the sunshine. Navigating the clouds is how I create my reality, I make the choices that form my thoughts and my world. stay present

Tired, confused need to find a grip and a direction. Need to stay in the moment and allow myself to appreciate where I am at this time. Stop frettting about the future and drudging up the past... Enjoy LIFE
