Best of Our Blogs: April 7, 2017

I’m late on this, but I just started reading Gretchen Rubin’s The Happiness Project. She also blogs here so check out her posts.
It inspired me to think up different areas of my life that could use a little spring cleaning. Here is the list of things I would work on to create my own happiness project.

No smart phone use during meal times with friends and family.
When making decisions, trust my inner voice.
Meditate even if it’s for five minutes.
When someone says something, actually listen.
Be in bed by 10:00 pm.
Spend an hour weekly doing something just for fun.
Do not immediately clean something.
Make eye contact with loved ones.
Commit to spending time in nature once a week.
Do not respond to any text, email or social media update, until I have the time to reflect on it and respond thoughtfully.

What would be on your list?
