Author’s Note: Since Day 14′s task was completed well before Day 14 ended, I’ve decided to publish this blog post dated as 10/26/12, even though the post was really published after midnight on 10/27/12.

***Author’s note: Day 13′s task was technically completed a little after 12:00 am on Day 14; which is why this particular post’s publishing date is listed as 10/26/12.

Day 12, Buy Local, Reduce Stress: Self.com’s 14 Days to a Happier, Healthier You!
Fail. Day 12′s task was not successfully completed today. I didn’t really need to buy anything and I also had to work, which really cut into my shopping time. So unless you count buying gas from Kroger’s gas station and fast food from McDonald’s as “helping the local economy,” I really did fail at this task. (By “local … Read more
Day 11, Coffee (or YouTubes) with Friends: Self.com’s 14 Days to a Happier, Healthier You!
Day 11′s task is much harder than it looks. Especially when you’re working and out of school and most of your friends are either still in school or working full-time.

So if you’ve been following along, you know good and well today’s task is NOT about flirting.

That … Read more
Day 8, Thank You Notes: Self.com’s 14 Days to a Happier, Healthier You!
I must say, I really liked completing today’s task. Once you get past all those addictive urges to think negatively, you’re really left with this comforting, soothing feeling in your head.

Day 7, Think of the (Happier) Possibilities: Self.com’s 14 Days to a Happier, Healthier You!
I’m a worrier. Hell, I’m even worrying right now about when I’m going to finish this post. I can worry about pretty much anything.

Day 6, Strengthen your Strengths: Self.com’s 14 Days to a Happier, Healthier You!
