I'm doing the 21 day challenge that my sister Bridget is doing. I'm writing 3 things each day that I'm grateful for starting yesterday 1-1-2013. This is what she's doing and I hope you'll join me and her:

Eric Karpinski outlines the happiness habits as follows (click the links for more in depth info):

• Happiness Habit #1, Gratitude.  Write down 3 things you are grateful for each day for 21 days in a row.  Be specific.

• Happiness Habit #2, Regular Exercise.  If you are not exercising regularly, make getting that body moving a priority for the next 21 consecutive days.  Start simply – 10 minutes a day is enough.

• Happiness Habit #3, Mindfulness and Meditation.  For 21 days in a row, take a break sometime in your day to simply watch your breath go in and out for 2 minutes.

• Happiness Habit #4, Conscious Acts of Kindness.  For 21 days in a row, send a two-line email thanking or praising someone for something they did.

• Happiness Habit #5, Finding Meaning.  For 21 days in a row, write about one meaningful moment you experienced over the past 24 hours and include every detail you can remember.
