Happiness Project: Week 2
We rounded out our second week of the Moncur Happiness Project with a side of Christmas cheer as we geared up for the holidays! Among tight deadlines and the frenzy of the season, we still took part in our daily happiness challenges!

Podcasts, TED Talks, or even a pep talk from a good friend—on Monday we took the time to get inspired for the week, and even for life. Hearing words of inspiration can ignite the most motivating flame, ultimately driving us to do something incredible and build upon our happiness! We especially enjoy TED Talks — you can find just about any type of motivation!
Tuesday was dedicated to gratitude. We were challenged to write a list of all the things we are grateful for and keep it around our desks as a nice reminder of all the goodness throughout the day. When it comes down to it, there are so many things to be grateful for, from family to food, to the things that make you who you are.
Fresh air is never a bad idea, no matter the temperature! Wednesday, we were encouraged to go outside, take a stroll, and breathe! Alone, or with a buddy, we bundled up and made time for the outdoors. Taking the time to head outside without any distractions made it easier to quiet our minds, reflect, and enjoy the world around us!
On Thursday, some of us took a different route home to enjoy the scenery along another path, or stopped to visit a brand new place. This task encouraged us to take a moment away from the usual commute or daily plan, which gave us the opportunity to experience new things!
On my way back home today, I decided to take an alternate route. Heading down Evergreen Road, I passed the Mary Thompson Farm house lit up for Christmas. Having my camera with me, I turned back ground, parked, and got a photo of the beautiful house that I didn’t even know was there before! -Laynie Perry, Junior Content Designer
Friday was “Call a Friend” day — to catch up with someone, even a family member. You know your momma loves to hear from you. It’s so fast and easy to send a text, but calling to talk in real time makes a huge difference. Today, Christina gave her good friend Michelle a ring — from allllll the way….on the other side of the office! Any friend, far, near, or a few cubes over would be happy to hear from you.
The Christmas countdown kept our happiness project going strong this week, and we intend to be happy campers as we enter 2018!
Moncur will be documenting our Happiness Project over four weeks. Be sure to follow this story by checking our Communi-Creations publication and/or our Instagram.
