January Lifestyle Challenge

Happy new year, everyone! I hope everyone's determined to make 2014 a fantastic year.


I'm quite the artist, am I not? ;)

That being said, is anyone making near-impossible-to-maintain new year's resolutions this year? It's a recurring problem I have every January, but this year, I'm taking a new initiative to change. Today, I'm introducing my new method of self-reform that I call Monthly Lifestyle Challenges.

Every month, I'll challenge myself (and you as well!) to work on doing something to improve my outlook on life. A little challenge to tackle once a month is much less daunting, and much more doable, than an overarching feat to accomplish in a year. It would mean lots to me if some of you took a crack at these challenges with me!

To wrap this up, January's Lifestyle Challenge is:

smile more often.

Not sure if anyone else runs into this problem, but I am constantly bogged down with comments like "You look sad today!" or "Is something wrong?" when in reality, I'm perfectly content. Thus, this January,  I'm determined to smile more often. Maybe not an ear-to-ear grin every hour, but a smirk every now and then would surely lighten my mood and the mood of those around me.

So with that, let's make the world a tiny bit happier--one smile at a time.



Best wishes,
Patricia
