The Happiness Project: How To Be Happier



  • Does Everyone Need a Theme Song? Come On, Get Happy.


    Because I literally cannot resist this call to happiness, here is the “Come On, Get Happy” theme song from The Partridge Family television show. I sat grinning away as I listened to it.

    If you need it, here’s the link.

    And speaking of getting happier, join the 2010 Happiness Challenge! Start your own happiness project and make 2010 a happier year.

    To help people stick with their happiness projects, I’ve set up a sign-up sheet so you can add your name to the 2010 Year of Happiness challenge. It’s worth taking a second actually to sign up; studies show that doing an action, like signing this pledge, will help you hold yourself accountable for your resolutions.

    The areas of focus will be:
    • January--Energy
    • February--Love
    • March--Work
    • April--Money
    • May--Mindfulness
    • June--Order
    • July--Spirit
    • August--Fun
    • September--Parenthood
    • October--Friends
    • November--Attitude
    • December--Boot Camp Perfect

    Of course, these categories are just my suggestions. You might choose to focus on very different areas for your happiness project.

    January 1 is always a good time to make a resolution – 44% of Americans make New Year’s resolutions – so by adding your name now, you’re committed to taking action when January 1 rolls around. You might also consider using the online tools over at the Happiness Project Toolbox (bonus: you can see what other people are doing, which is fascinating.)

    Also, check out the great material at Woman’s Day Happiness Project page. I particularly enjoyed this recent post on Gym Culture, Some Observations.

    Make 2010 a happier year. Come on, get happy.
