I tried describing my job using only the 1000 most common words, which was easier than I expected on account of my job basically being a lot of talking, then writing down what we agree upon. I am an IT policy advisor, by the way.

I talk to people and agree on doing things one way. First with people like me, then with people in high places. I
don't make the things we agree on happen, I write them down and help people
decide.

Work: I got a permanent contract. Whoot!

Love: up and down and round and round... Nothing permanent though, lots of lessons learned

Family and friends: lost my grandmother, worked on my relationship with my dad, got closer to mum and Little Brother. The passing of a wonderful person who meant a lot to me during high school touched me more than I expected. The world is less bright without her. I met up with friends near and far and though I'd love to see more of everyone, it was good.

Money: I did good and saved some money, and paid my ex the 5k that he stashed on my savings account a couple of years ago. We are officially cut loose completely

House: bought a new mattrass and it is heaven. I also had two subletters in 2012, solidifying me in my role as landlady.

Dance: found new dance sisters with FaKyMa and maintained my old dance friends. Didn't create brilliant solo pieces, something to strive for in 2013.

Other hobbies: ballet is starting to sink in, badminton is getting better, horsebackriding is highly enjoyable, running has been pushed to the back a little. Will do a 10k run in march to make up for it. Learned to scuba dive and how to sail, which was awesome.

Holidays: went on a snowholiday for the first time with my family. I shall never attempt to snowboard ever again. Met Ozma in Istanbul and we had some epic moments, singing Cecilia, impersonating butterflies and receiving shoes.

Music: discovered Mumford and Sons, Pink!, Taylor Swift has a new album (go on and mock me), was disappointed by Lady Gaga's last album, listened more classic music, swapped great live video's with friends and learned more about 10.000 maniacs, melissa etheridge, a bit of Pink Floyd, Joni Mitchell, Fiona Apple.

Best book in 2012: I finally read Foer and loved it.

A ten solution worksheet for producing feel-good experiences

For the lovers, the dreamers and me: you can also cut the ten actions up into a daily thing for ten days. I admit that some work better for me then others, just take out of it what fits with  who you are right now.

For the haters (you know who you are!): Yeah I know, it's very American, result focused, blahblahblah. The time and energy you just spend on dismissing this link and gong through your negative feedback loop in your head, you could have done one of the the things on that page and even if it doesn't bring you closer to happiness, it sure won't make you feel worse so shut up and get going!

To set an example, here's number 6:
6. Fill in the blanks. I ____________ what I love, and I love what I ____________.

I do what I love, and I love what I do. It's as simple as that!
