My Happiness Project: July

Dear You,

Yesterday I wrote this post about the start of my own, personal Happiness Project! So now on the first day of every month I'll be writing a post with my resolutions for that month starting with today!

So, I'm a writer and musician and I spend my days working on such things. But I also take my little brother and dog for an hour walk everyday, do chores, learn French, I'm moving August 1st, my little sister who lives far away is in town for the month, I workout everyday, my birthday is in 3 days, and I live in Southern California and still want to enjoy my summer. You could say it's a bit of a busy month.

Going for a walk

Running for 35 min straight is hard and annoying and stupid

After school ended I got somewhat lazy and watched more Netflix than I'm willing to admit but now is time to really buckle down and get PRODUCTIVE, which is the theme for this month.

My resolutions are:

Waking up early (7-7:30)

Spend 1 hour per day on guitar, writing, reading, and this blog each

Watch less Netflix

Keep Up Appearances

I somewhat already started a week or two ago just because I was so excited to start this project and it's never too early, right?

I made my own resolutions chart like the author did though it's for July so today will be the first time I get to mark it :)

Waking up early has been really easy, I'm still getting more sleep now than I was during the school year. My 1 hours are easiest accomplished in the morning when everything is still quiet and little errands don't rise up and get in my way. This is with the exception of guitar practice, which because of it's volume I tend to put off until the afternoon. 

2 of my favorite things in the world 

(well things slash people, my cat is people, well at least she acts like it)

Netflix was easy to cut down (no more than 1 episode/day) and I've gotten much more reading done which is better for writing than TV. The appearances was due to the fact that I was not going through the same beauty regimens as earlier in the year and my skin was complaining quite a bit but it's finally back to normal, thankfully, and I feel much better for it.

I have a feeling accomplishing everything I normally do in a day is going to get more difficult, especially with a whole house to pack up and a million other things to do but I'm looking forward to the challenge ;) 

Leave me a comment with your thoughts below!

Have an Amazing Day!
