Happiness Project - Getting Started

I don’t know why but this book to me is very intriguing. As far as the introduction goes I think it starts out already trying to inspire you. The mere name sounds like interventions for self-actualization and happiness to be found by all. Realizing that this feeling of disconnect occurs to another was a sigh of relief I too though I have much to be happy about often feel disconnected and lonely almost. This idea seems to be very undermined and taken for granted by most people according to the author and I feel like it is an important topic to touch on considering happiness is the key to life really. If we aren’t happy then we aren’t living out to our full potential and enjoying ourselves.

In regards to journaling I feel like this idea of happiness is often time translated into most writing and if its not happy it is sad. To be honest I feel like many personal journals are always sad or angry thought translated to paper. Yeah it’s a good place to get feelings out but do something about it. I k now I used to be more on the negative side and in the last three to four years turned my attitude around almost one hundred percent. Being happy is one way you can focus and make your journalism more of an experience for yourself and for others—if they can read it—and it will make you feel better all around as well.
