Sometimes, our minds are so busy that we forget to take care of ourselves. We forget to live a little and do the things that make us happy. In these times we need to breathe and remind ourselves of the little things that bring satisfaction.
I'm in such a phase currently and I decided to calm the fuck down and try to do one thing that I like every day. All the worry in the world isn't going to give me what I want so why not do some happy stuff anyway?
Here are a number of things I do to get my mojo on.
Well, I don't love waking up early, my body doesn't even let me. Waking up early means I sleep early so I aim for that. I have trouble sleeping but some nights, I'm very intentional about it and get a good night's rest. This means that I'm pumped for most of the day and it feels really good.
This is one habit I don't grow out of but I don't do it often. I write about my thoughts, or about my day, and the outpour reliefs me. It's in these times I am completely honest with myself and reading these notes, later on, shows me how much progress I make with myself.
I love drinking coffee and I allow myself to enjoy up to two cups some days for that feel-good effect.
Some days, I am very intentional about watching movies all-day, something different and random. What that does for me is give me a new perspective about life or something to think about.
I enjoy cooking the most when I'm attempting something new, the suspense has a kick to it.
This is my one true love, it always makes me happy especially when it's a good book. I shed a lot of unhappy and anxious weight by simply reading good fiction, disappearing into another universe.
It's crazy what you can learn on the internet and when I'm not doing that, I feel like my entire existence is being wasted. It's like being served food on a platter and you starve yourself because you're too lazy to eat from the table.
I crave the satisfaction that comes from learning something new and the feeling of being suddenly wiser.
I'm a simple girl and doing one or two of these simple, yet intentional things each day keeps my head in the right place. Isn't it crazy how anxiety makes me forget these regular things in the first place?
