To be happy : What are you thankful for ?

Since 2013 wrapped up,I have decided to change things up.I know that a lot of people write their resolutions and set out so many goals (more than they can handle) but I don't like to do that as I mentioned previously.Nonetheless,when I reflected on the past year,I hated the flashbacks that I had.It was a good year don't get me wrong,a lot has happened but the way I lived it or the years before it,it's not how I want to continue living this year.I want the number one thing that everybody wants : I want to be happy but not the kind you know of,I want to apperciate my life,myself and the air that I breath.I want to deeply feel it in my core.I want to work on myself to be the best person that I can be.In one word,to cleanse...

The first step that I took this year and I have been doing this since January is to be thankful of the little things.Every night before I sleep,while tucked in bed,I recite everything that I am thankful for that day and the smallest achievements I made.Those little things that just pass us by and we take for granted.I think about them and how they put a smile on my face or how they made that awful day just a tiny bit more brighter.Then I go through all the things that I'm excited for tomorrow,it could be just one thing so at least you'll be sure that you will get out of your cosy cosy bed the next day.

I have been doing this for more than a month,especially on a very bad day.And I have been noticing a huge difference :I have been feeling good,appreciating the little moments  and what I possess and actually enjoying them,getting to know myself a little while digging through my memories and finding out what makes me happy the most.

And I have to share the most valuable moment of my days which is when a stranger smiles or says good morning to me or does something kind.It might sound creepy or naïf but that simple act,can bright up my day instantly and revive my hope for humanity.

All in all,this is the first step of many to be taken this year and I hope you'll join me on this journey.I highly recommend to start bettering yourself while you still can.

You can always share what you're thankful for today in the comments below :)
