Happiness Project

One of my New Years Resolutions for 2015 is to be happy. To find more joy in life and to live in the moment.

I like structure. I keep track of everything. On a daily basis, I have three agendas going. This can be both stressful and calming all at once.

This morning, my bestie asked me “What makes you happy?” And, this is my reply:

  • I’m the happiest when I beat people at stuff (I’m competitive to a fault).
  • When I feel rested (I love to nap).
  • When jeans fit (I have a pear shape. Pears are delicious but could never pull off skinny jeans).
  • When I feel comfortable around people which is very rare (#introvert).
  • When I feel confident and sure of myself like when I’m coaching crossfit (work is a different story. I am constantly learning new things, taking on new roles and projects… the learning curve is steep and the edge is thin).
  • When I know that I will get to have a nap or a good night’s sleep.
  • Friday afternoons.
  • Eating sushi, especially if I have lots of room in my macros to cheat a bit (I told you I track eeeevvvveeerrything).
  • When I feel loved, liked, appreciated.
  • When I have a good hair day (all the frizz-heads know what I’m talking about).
  • When Aspen or Bain do something adorable (this is mostly when they’re asleep or want to cuddle. FYI Aspen is a dog and Bain is a cat).
  • Playing beach volleyball.
  • Being tan. Getting a tan. Not to mention beach vacations.
  • Watching live crossfit events like the Games or Regionals. I love regionals season!!

    And….

    Most importantly…

    When I have someone to share these things with. When someone I like, likes the things I like. #thatsyou
