On a scale of 1 to 10 my current level of happiness is a 5.

On a scale of 1 to 10 my current level of unhappiness is a 4.

On a scale of 1 to 10 my ideal level of happiness is an 8.

To increase my level of happiness I commit to:

• taking some time to medidate each day.
• contacting at least one friend each day.
• spend the hour before I go to bed doing something for myself.
• stop bitting my nails.

I believe it is the small actions that make the biggest difference. I used to get upset when my car beeped at me because I left the lights on. I made a decision that I should not get upset over my car beeping, so I decided to say thank you. This has become a habit, and it stops me from getting angry and reminds me to be grateful for this reminder. It keeps me from getting angry and gives me positive enegry. It has honestly improved my experince in driving.

I think by starting each day with a focused reading or medidation, will allow me to start each day with a focused mindset. Contacting one friend each day will make sure I'm staying connected to people. Taking time for myself makes sure I appericate me. I've always wanted to stop bitting my nails. I know that if I accomplished this I would be really proud. Old habits can be hard to break, but conquering this would demonstrate a lot of personal growth.
