So far so good!

So today, January 2nd is to me considered the first day of the year. Today was the day I started my New Years resolution.

I made my mother happy today. I decided that today I would do everything she asked me to do. I know that this is something I should do all the time, but with me being a teenager and a very stubborn person it doesn't happen as much as it should. I did not pick a fight with her, and whenever she even suggested that I should do something I did it. for example after breakfast, clearing the table (even though my dad said he would do it but had to quit early), and not moaning about having to do it. When it comes to my mother I really believe it is doing all the small things, that she would usually have to nag about, that makes her happy. Tonight she even told me that it made her happy. I like it when she is happy and I hope that I will keep making her happy even if she is not the only one.

I made myself happy today by finally doing something that I have been putting off since christmas break started, which was reading my chemistry book. I really struggle with the subject in school and decided that I would try my very best to catch up on what has happened so far. Even if I only read half the chapter I feel like I have a better understanding of what it is all about, I will keep reading tomorrow as well. It always feels good to do something that you know you will benefit from later in life. I am really happy that I managed to understand what I was reading and that I took the time to do it.

Most of the time, just doing small things like this and appreciating them can make a huge impact on how you feel about yourself.

Feel free to share what you have done to make someone or yourself happy. It is important to spread the positivity.
