Posted by: Trina January 18, 2012 So how are you doing with those New Years resolutions? Gretchen Rubin the author of The Happiness Project t is a big believer in the power of small changes to make us happier. Gretchen has also along the way learned through her work with the happiness project, some great strategies for helping herself stick to those resolutions. We know it's difficult to keep up resolutions because life is always getting in the way. Here are 12 Personal Tips that keeps Gretchen and many others on track so life doesn't get in the way.
* Be Yourself * Let it go * Act the way you want to feel * Do it now * Be polite and be fair * Enjoy the process * Spend out * Identify the problem * Lighten up * Do what ought to be done * No calculation * There is only one Love
The Happiness Project is one of the most thoughtful works on happiness to have emerged from the recent explosion of interest in the subject. Rubin weaves together philosophy, scientific research, history, analysis, and real-life experiences as she explains what worked for her—and what didn’t. Her conclusions are sometimes counter-intuitive – for example, she finds that money can buy happiness, when spent correctly – but they resonate with readers of all backgrounds. Filled with practical advice, sharp insight, charm, and humor, The Happiness Project manages to be illuminating yet entertaining, profound yet compulsively readable. But The Happiness Project isn’t just an engaging and provocative book. Gretchen’s passion for her subject jumps off the page, and reading a few chapters of this book will inspire you to start your own happiness project. Gretchen has a wide, enthusiastic following, and her idea for a “happiness project” no longer describes just a book or a blog; it’s a movement. Happiness Project groups have sprung up from Los Angeles to Enid, Oklahoma to Boston, where people meet to discuss their own happiness projects. More than a dozen blogs have been launched by people who are following Gretchen’s example. On her companion website, the Happiness Project Toolbox, enthusiastic readers track and share their own happiness projects.

The biggest challenge with keeping this happiness alive is simple life. It is the death of a twin, a neighbors divorce. The taking on of other peoples' stresses in a want to help them. My resolution this year is to help my friends, but not to have their worries overwhelm my life. When that happens, then maybe my life can be as full of happines and joy as my son's.
