Week #110 – Countdown to Happyness!!! (Spread the word!)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Greetings Tribe — and Happy Friday!<\/p>\n

It’s that time of year again<\/a>! \u00a0TEN WEEKS to the end of 2016! \u00a0(And time to revisit our Ten Weeks to Happyness challenges from 2015!)<\/p>\n

In January,\u00a0I challenged you to “Love Your Life” in 2016<\/a>. \u00a0Do you remember?<\/p>\n

If you don’t remember…don’t worry! \u00a0I warned you that might happen. \u00a0That’s why I encouraged you at that time to start tracking your accomplishments. \u00a0We talked about a daily list, a gratitude tree, a photo journal, and a Happyness Jar…any\u00a0system for recording your achievements, successes, highlights, and otherwise happy times THROUGHOUT\u00a0the year\u00a0ahead!<\/span><\/p>\n

Have you been keeping up?<\/strong><\/p>\n

(To be honest…I’ve struggled, once again, to keep mine up-to-date this year! \u00a0A cross-country move and\u00a0re-settling into a new space left quite a gap in my record-keeping!)<\/p>\n

As I wrote last year, the turn into October is usually a checkered-flag moment for me…a time to stop, take stock, and set a course for Q4: the finish line of the calendar year.<\/p>\n

This month got away from me…again. \u00a0A few significant deadlines, the holidays, the debates, a trip to the DMV. \u00a0And here we are…just ten weeks away from the end of 2016!<\/p>\n

So\u00a0I’ll ask you the same question I asked you at the beginning\u00a0of this year:<\/p>\n

Are you on track\u00a0to yell, “I LOVE MY LIFE!” on December 31st? \u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Your Happyness Challenge for the week ahead:\u00a0<\/strong>Have you been keeping track of your highlights? \u00a0If so, GREAT WORK! \u00a0(And please share your methods in the comments!) \u00a0But if not, don’t worry. \u00a0Take some time this weekend to look back over your calendar, your emails, your texts, your tweets, and your Facebook wall and make a note of any special or significant moments. \u00a0I, myself, have lapsed in my daily rundown — missing several significant moments, including my cross-country move! \u00a0The holidays are a slippery slope…don’t let your Happyness get caught in the landslide! \u00a0Take time to REFLECT now and set yourself up for a satisfying end to 2016!<\/span><\/p>\n

BONUS CHALLENGE:<\/strong>\u00a0Is there something you still need to do that is nagging at you? \u00a0If so…you’ve got TEN WEEKS to do it! \u00a0Break it down into ten steps…share it with a friend…find yourself a buddy…and then get to work!<\/span><\/p>\n

Most important…keep collecting the good stuff!<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0Because we need more of that. \u00a0More focus on the wins. \u00a0More focus on what’s right. \u00a0More focus on loving our lives — so that we can live our lives more fully.<\/p>\n

I want us to yell “I LOVE MY LIFE!” — from wherever we are — at midnight this New Year’s Eve! \u00a0Are you still with me?!<\/p>\n

Spread Happyness — share your\u00a0thoughts and plans to “LOVE YOUR LIFE! in 2016 — and encourage others to do the same!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

PS: Throughout the next TEN WEEKS TO HAPPYNESS, I’m looking to feature local causes and charities that SPREAD HAPPYNESS to others. \u00a0If you or someone you know are responsible for a such and effort, please let me know (via the comments, FB, or at the email above)! \u00a0I’d love to reach out for an interview!<\/p>\n
