#100HappyDays
I have been seeing this hashtag float about on various social media outlets and finally decided to look into it yesterday - and I am so HAPPY that I did.
Essentially, it's a movement to challenge us to stop and smell the roses - to take time from our busy schedules and really think about the little moments of beauty in our daily lives. It's so easy to get swept up in the mundane, becoming zombie-like and immune to the little pleasures. This challenge forces you to embrace each day and find the happiness in it for 100 days straight. Sounds easy enough, right?
Wrong.
According to the website, 71% of people who attempted this challenge failed due to "lack of time".
Really? We don't "have the time" to recognize at lease one moment of happiness in each day? That is just sad - and proof that the majority of us can't take our head out of our asses long enough to realize just how lucky we actually have it. Anyone who knows me would say that I'm generally a pretty happy person - but like most, I often get caught up in moaning on about things like how I don't want to go to work or how I should probably lose a few pounds before my next big adventure. In the grand scheme of things, those are some pretty awesome problems. It means that I have a JOB that PAYS me, I have access to delicious FOOD, and I get to take amazing VACATIONS. It's a rough life for me, innit?
So this little blog is my vow to get my head out of my ass for 100 days straight and see the delight in both the big and the small moments.
May it teach to me to be more observant, optimistic, thankful, and HAPPY.
You can follow my daily dose of joy on Instagram - @southerndreamer and I inspire you to join me, friend. Let's get merry!
Peace, Love, and Good Cheer,
