100 Happy Days: What I Learnt


I've just completed the social media phenomenon #100happydays. It's a challenge where you post a picture of absolutely anything that brings you happiness over a period of 100 days. I chose my Instagram page as my medium.

At first it was quite daunting because I wasn't used to uploading pictures on a daily basis. I had accumulated only 100 posts in my 3 years of Instagram use and suddenly I had to upload 100 in 100 days? That to me was the challenge!

I finished the exercise some days ago and I'm so glad I did it; It semi-changed my life! I learned that our days are filled with tons of happy moments that we don't often document and therefore when we look back we only focus on the problems that seem to stick out. This exercise made me take note of the moments that made me smile/laugh. I also learned that what makes me happy as a person varies from the next person and I am totally fine with that.


Over 71% of people who start the challenge fail to complete it (Who would've thought uploading pictures was that difficult?) but I'd still recommend you try it. The organisers send you a full collection of your 100 pictures as a book to celebrate the achievement. Give it a try and tag me to let me know how you're doing!
