How I did it: To start with I thought I was going to really struggle. I didn't want to just pick silly fluffy things - like 100 different types of food (even if they would have been valid happiness making things) I got to about 30 and was finding it difficult to get much further. But I didn't have to rush and get all done in one day - even if I only added one entry each time that was OK. And gradually (and with a bit of sticky beaking at other lists) I… Read how I did it…

How to embrace the 21st century and buy an iPod
It took me
3 weeks
It made me

How I did it: Simple process of getting off my bum and going to the shop. Then the obsession with 80's Power Ballads really came into there own when I discovered the heaven that is  iTunes :) Read how I did it…

How to find at least one thing each day that makes me happy and record it everyday for a year
It took me
1 month
It made me
hoo hum

How I did it: I haven't actually Done this goal but I'm removing it from my list in favour of something else. I found myself really stretching for that "One thing" every day which wasn't really the point of the goal for me. The original aim was to be more grateful and acknowledge the little things in life.

100. Being content 1 month ago

I think my happiness stems from overall contentment. I am content with my lot. I truly appreciate what I have and I’m so lucky to have the life I do. Others can have better houses, better cars, more money, take more holidays…. but I don’t compare what they have to what I have….because when you break it down and look at what’s important, there is no comparison :)

I have so many blessings and this exercise has proven to me what brings me real happiness. Brilliant goal – totally loved it :)

98. Being positive 1 month ago

I make a conscious effort to be optomistic. It never came naturally to me but it’s getting easier and easier. It’s such a healthier and happier way to live. Why look for the bad in every situation when the good is so much NICER!
