Honderd dagen na elkaar gelukkig zijn… Kan dat? Dat is de uitdaging die vele mensen in 2014 aangingen. Elke dag via Twitter of via Facebook of wat dan ook posten wat jouw gelukkig moment van de dag was en zien of je dit honderd dagen na elkaar aan kon.
Ik deed alvast mee! Sommige dagen was het erg makkelijk, en wist ik meteen iets te posten. Andere dagen was het wat moeilijker, maar dit maakte dat ik toch bewuster was van hoe mijn leven er aan toe ging.
Zo’n 71% zou het halverwege de challenge meestal opgeven om gelukkige momenten op te noemen, meestal wegens tijdsgebrek. Heeft de mens dan geen tijd meer om gelukkig te zijn? Vaak zie ik wel op Twitter of Facebook de minder goede kanten van de dag passeren: “Lap, weer een boete!”, “Ik heb een pot confituur gebroken en het is over de hele keuken uitgesmeerd.”, “Ik heb mijn arm gebroken.”, “Het is gedaan met mijn lief.”, … Net op zulke momenten is het dan ook belangrijk om terug te kijken op je dag en het beste moment er uit te halen, al was het maar zo klein, al was het maar voor enkele minuten, er was vast en zeker een moment dat je je gelukkig voelde, toch?
Wil je ook mee doen? Schrijf je dan hier in!
Mijn lijstje met 100 gelukkige momenten:
