My Happiness Project: August Half-Way Mark

Dear You,

So I took a week off because I had some family come into town and honestly I felt no urge to write and the only reason I write is because I feel that familiar desire to jot all of my thoughts down. Without that overwhelming want, writing is just a job, something I have to do and I never want it to become that so every once in awhile I need a break. However, now that my break is over I am back and ready to write my heart out. 

We passed the mid-month checkmark! So today is the halfway check in on the Happiness Project. 

This month's theme was Ambition!

Some things to do were signing up for singing lessons and making a vision board

I have, in fact, signed up for lessons. I had my first one last Saturday and it was really good, I loved hearing what I could fix and to have my voice stretched, it helped me realize just how much I love singing and music in general. 




My vision board only exists in digital form thus far. I have the supplies but I need to print the pictures and my printer is out of ink! Look out for a post for that soon because I will finish it before August ends if its the last thing I do. (The picture is going on my board)

Some of my everyday goals were: talk about writing more, make videos, practicing, write a one line journal, and take care of my body. 



I've found that talking about writing is really easy with strangers and highly difficult with the people that I've known since I was a kid and hid it from out of embarrassment. It makes me feel like that little kid, as I'm writing this I have a text from yesterday on my phone explaining my situation that I haven't sent yet, because I'm scared. *HUGE SIGH*

I haven't made another video after the first, I'm not that confident in my singing yet, but maybe I'll just make that a one time thing. By the end of August I will put up another cover video, promise!




Practicing guitar and singing is really easy, I already did it from last month and I love doing it. I miss a day here and there because I can only play certain hours in an apartment complex but during the week it's pretty normal for me and makes me very happy. 

I haven't gotten the one line journal yet. It was $20 at Barnes and Noble! However I have been writing a few things that made me happy everyday on the side of my resolution chart. It's not always huge things just small accomplishments or writing a good song.



Taking care of my body was definitely difficult. I did a 5 day cleanse that I actually stuck to and made me feel wonderful. I've had good days and not so good days but in the end I've gained a new appreciation for begin healthy. One thing I have struggled with is comparing myself to other people. I'm definitely working on trying to change my mind set on that one, it's incredibly unhealthy but I'm slowly getting better. :)

This month was definitely more difficult because my resolutions weren't as clear cut as last month but I've been getting through them, everyday gets better. I've definitely learned things and I'm still happy that I started this project. 

Comment below one thing that made you happy recently!

Have an Amazing Day!
