Happiness Project: Being Authentic – Item 1

Time and time again, I return to considering how well I’m doing at being authentic. Apparently, this is a topic I need to revisit on a regular basis, as I seem to easily slip back into a place where I’m not being the best I can be. I remember that I started going through a similar list of items less than a year ago, but it only had 15. Why are there now 22? I better get on with it before there are even more added!!

As I read through this list, 22 Things Happy People Do Differently, I see that I actually do a number of these fairly well, but sure could concentrate a little bit harder on some of the “things”.

Item 1: “Don’t hold Grudges.”

Overall, I have to say that I’m pretty good about this but certainly not as good as I could be. I admit that there are certain people out there who seem to “rub me the wrong way”, and I try to stay away from them for the sake of my own balance and sanity, but I don’t think that would be considered holding a grudge, right? In any case, I’m going to pay attention this week and see that I let things roll off and not hold any grudges.
