This morning I woke up and I decided that I was going to be happy. I've done enough moping around the past couple weeks: making excuses not to go out, doing homework instead of just wasting time with friends, and spending far too much time stressing about things that don't actually matter (of course, I've been stressing about things that do matter too, but you get the idea). So, I've made some new resolutions to hold myself to, and hopefully I'll make some progress in the happy department.
- Spend more time outside. You know how health experts are always saying you should spend at least 15 minutes in the sun everyday? Well I have not been getting adequate Vitamin D lately, that's for sure (and my Casper-like appearance tells the whole world!), so today I did some reading up on the roof. The weather is far too gorgeous not to take advantage of, so I might go back up for a little more sunshine.
- Exercise and eat well. I feel so much happier overall if I feel good about my body, and eating healthy foods and exercising regularly make me feel stronger and sexier. Plus, exercise gives you endorphins, and endorphins make you happy, and happy people just don't shoot their husbands.
- Always have a non-school book to read. I am going to try to take breaks from schoolwork when I can. Right now I'm reading Anne Lamott's Grace (Eventually) and next up is Eat Pray Love.
- Write myself love letters. I got this idea from a Shape magazine article, and I'm going to start tomorrow by writing myself a card as a reminder of the things I love about myself.
