The 2019 Rise + Shine Mom Read-Along Plan
I’m so glad you’re interested in joining The Happiness Project read-along! Here’s a deep dive into what we will be doing this year.
As a reminder, here’s what you need to do to participate in the read-along:
- Pick up a copy of The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin
- Sign-up for my email list so you know when I’ve posted a Happiness Project blog post.
- Follow me on Instagram at @riseandshinemom. I will post about my progress through The Happiness Project every Wednesday.
- Join the Rise + Shine Mom Happiness Project Read-Along Facebook Group
The Happiness Project format
The Happiness Project is broken down by month – January through December. While doing her own Happiness Project, Gretchen focused on a specific area of her life each month. We will follow the same format.
- January: Boost Energy (Vitality)
- February: Remember Love (Marriage)
- March: Aim Higher (Work)
- April: Lighten Up (Parenthood)
- May: Be Serious About Play (Leisure)
- June: Make Time for Friends (Friendship)
- July: Buy Some Happiness (Money)
- August: Contemplate the Heavens (Eternity)
- September: Pursue a Passion (Books)
- October: Pay Attention (Mindfulness)
- November: Keep a Contented Heart (Attitude)
- December: Boot Camp Perfect (Happiness)
I know you’re busy, mama. This read-along is meant to be easy and actionable, while not taking up a lot of time. We will only focus on one chapter a month based on the corresponding month in the book.
Participate in the Rise + Shine Mom Community
Every Wednesday, I will post on Instagram @riseandshinemom and in our Facebook Group with how I am implementing The Happiness Project topic of the month in my own life.
Make sure you join the Rise + Shine Mom Happiness Project Group on Facebook and follow @riseandshinemom on Instagram. Please join in the conversation and post your successes and challenges to the group! This is about building a community of mamas who are striving to be happier!
End of Month Live Chat
On the last Friday of each month, I will go Live on Instagram and Facebook for a wrap-up of that month’s topic. Please join me! I’d love to hear how you implemented Gretchen’s tips & tricks in your life!
Bonus
Start following Gretchen on her Instagram @gretchenrubin and check out her website for more information on The Happiness Project and her many other books!
You definitely need to check out her podcast as well – Happier with Gretchen Rubin. She co-hosts with her sister, Liz Craft, and they are magic together. You will walk away with at least one good “happiness hack” or life trick after each episode.
Let’s get started!
