Daily Meditation/Forgiving 3 out of 5 Stars
I found meditating very difficult to schedule. One easy way to slip in some zen time was doing it about 5 minutes before bed. This totally helped me temporarily place my worries on my night stand and have thee most peaceful sleep. In forgiving I found a lot of love I get that I never knew of before. Whoever you are reading this, I need to tell you that you are loved! Even if you don't feel it. You just need to see it.
Stay in the Gym / Dance 5 out of 5
Maybe it's the January resolution juice running through me but I just can't seem to stay away from the gym. I feel this huge rush of energy going through me in everything I do. Having a good time in those classes, meeting and seeing so many new faces has kept me at the gym. Classes have made me move away from the treadmill. They give me cardio and all the strength training all in one package so it keeps me having fun and doing all the right things to keep me in shape. Dancing makes me so happy, so not only am I attending my lessons but I have actually incorporated it to my routines at home. I've never had so much fun just washing dishes!
Fuel my body 3 out of 5
After my scare I definitely started eating more and often however the quality of my food was lacking in vitamins and maximizing in fats. Warm comfort food in the winter is definitely my temptation. Recently we just hopped on the Costco train and I found it very hard to commit to 5 kilos of Celery so I have pinned down a local grocery store on my way home from work that I am going to once a week to refill on our fruits and veggies.
8 sleep hours minimum 4 out of 5 stars
Hammering down when it came time to bedtime wasn't too hard. Once I got in the habit of pressing the Power button on the TV with no remorse it was pretty much easy street. I gave myself a 4 because there were few naughty nights where I went to bed late due to social interaction (which I enjoy most). I do keep my count of the hours I had lost and make sure I catch up on weekends or naps during the week.
Heart your Home 2 out of 5
I just started this on Wednesday so I didn't give myself such a high rating. So far I have implemented the 10 minute tidy rule and what a difference it made to my morning to see my beautiful home clutter free before heading out to work. However I have yet to initiate a big clean up in my basement aka storage level.

Am I happier? Loaded question. I feel the same as December 31st when I started making these goals. However my perspective has changed. I know I have changed and I am now catching up to all the change. Things that make me happy today are not things that would've made me happy 5 years ago. What I do feel is grateful. I have had an overwhelming response from my friends and family in supporting me on my happy journey. People are sharing their happiness projects with me and I am just thrilled that we are realizing the big picture FINALLY! We are all responsible for our own happiness. If you choose to not focus on it, sure you won't notice the difference. You may very well be happy without the bells and whistles of a project. But life is short to just go with the flow and see what happens. Make things happen for yourself! It's a responsibility we must take as humans to take our lives and make something of it. Something that makes us proud! Something that will make our eulogy quite an interesting piece of literature to read one day.
