As I reflect on 2015, I see many blessings in my life:
But I have to admit that 2015 brought melancholic times as well:
So, what’s in store for the upcoming year? Well, I’ve never been one for resolutions, but I’ve been thinking a lot about a TED Talk I watched a short time ago that presented a 21-day approach to “creating lasting positive change.” I was unfamiliar with TED Talks until a fellow writer posted this on her blog. I watched the full 12+ minute video, and there was something about the speaker, Shawn Achor, and information that made me smile. I jotted down his five daily tasks, and that was that. I never went back to the list—until now. You’ll notice a new tab on this website called “Happiness Challenge.” For the first 21 days of January, I’m challenging myself to abide by Achor’s five daily tasks:
This challenge is what I need to get back on track with happiness and health, which can’t help but have a ripple effect on my personal and professional lives, as well as my writing hobby. What do you think? Wanna join me? Happy 2016!
As always, thanks for your support! - Geralyn (FYI: I’m thrilled that Traci was the recipient of my first giveaway, but her Ted Talk post was not the reason for her winning. Thanks again, Traci!) 1/5/2016 07:41:05 pm
What a great way to begin 2016, I will have to save that TED talk link and take a look later. Thanks so much for sharing! I wish you a wonderful 2016!

I seem to be having a difficult time with the exercise part, but the rest of it has been a rewarding experience so far! Happy 2016! So much to look forward to! Comments are closed.
