I personally believe that happiness is very important for a persons well being ( hence the positivity blog ) I also believe that happiness and kindness go hand in hand . Not just kindness to others but to yourself ... but also others because you wouldn't believe what a lovely feeling it is to make a random stranger smile :)
" If your compassion doesn't include yourself it's incomplete"
So I thought I'd put together a months worth of simple little challenges to see if they can make you, me and any strangers who get affected by some of the challenges, HAPPIER :) Wouldn't that be lovely ?
Day Two : Make a list of three things you like about your body
Day Three : Compliment a friend
Day Four : Treat yourself ! Let yourself have an extra scoop of that chocolate ice cream, or get yourself a new book , whatever you fancy, you deserve it because you're awesome :)
Day Five : Start a notebook where you write one good thing that happens everyday , no matter how rubbish the day, you have to find something .
Day Six: Make a list of five things you're grateful for
Day Seven : Have an early night, just turn your phone off an get some rest
Day Eight : Make a list of four positive words your friends would use to describe you
Day Nine : Make a commitment to accept all positive compliments ( It's not arrogant if anything it's way more polite than disregarding someone's positive opinion of you )
Day Ten : Make time for breakfast ... How about Nutella on toast, YUMMY !
Day Eleven : Find three positive quotes that you like
Day Twelve : Think extra carefully before you speak .
" If you propose to speak, always ask yourself. Is it true, is it necessary, is it kind ? "

Day Thirteen: Make a list of three things you like about your personality
Day Fourteen : Have a little bit of "me time " . Why not just snuggle up with a good book or have a duvet day ? As long as you're happy :)
Day Fifteen : Woo ! You're halfway there ! Celebrate by buying some new clothes that make you feel good or a new accessory .
Day Sixteen : Make a list of five things that you're grateful for
Day Seventeen : Write a positive letter and leave it somewhere random for a stranger to find !
Day Eighteen : Let someone you love.. well, know that you love them ! You'd be suprised at how much your mum or best friend or even that boy who you keep staring at in class needs to know :)
Day Nineteen : Let you know that you're loved ! Take a few minutes to think about all the people who care about you
Day Twenty : Find three more positive quotes
Day Twenty-one : Leave some money in the change part of a sweet vending machine
Day Twenty-two : Tell who-ever serves you at the shops or in a cafe to have a nice day
Day Twenty-three : Get some fresh air ! Go for a quiet walk and clear your mind
