I never realized how important it is to focus your life on one thing: be happy.
A few months ago I had the opportunity to make some changes in my life. And it wasn't until I was able to make these changes, that I realized how unhappy you can be without even knowing it.
Now, don't get me wrong. Sometimes we can't make changes. Sometimes our options are limited. It is in those situations that we have to do the very best that we can to make ourselves happy. We may have to pretend some days, may have to fake it on others so that we can make the best of a situation that may not have to be a forever thing.
But when an opportunity comes to you, where you can make life happier...do it.
Case and point:
Changing jobs-It may be the same work, the same outcomes. But if you aren't in a job where you can grow, where you can be who you want to be...do your best to improve that situation. Our jobs are where we spend so much of our time, and it should be a place that you enjoy going to and enjoy what you do.
Intake/Output-This is a term in the health care industry that we take very seriously, it is looked at by nurses, doctors, dietitians, etc. Why don't we pay more attention to it in ourselves? I started making it a priority to eat right-and by this I mean putting good things in your body. After all this is what we give ourselves to work with. To function in every single moment of the day. Another just as important priority is to exercise. Now I'm not talking about hard core...what do they call it...P90z or something? No, I mean getting out and making your heart pump. This could be walking, running, biking, going to the gym...whatever you can do to make your heart work for you.
Get more sun-This is very simply put, but for someone who works night shift, and for everyone else-soak up the sunlight. It's how we connect with our environment. Be outside, breathe fresh unfiltered air. Take time out of your day to appreciate the simple act of being. Watch the world around you with "easy eyes." Appreciate leaves on a tree, clouds in a sky, or as I tell my kids-always take time to smell the flowers.
Unlock your true potential-So maybe I watch Lego Ninjago with my kids, or hear them talk about it all the time. But this is true within ourselves. We each have a creative soul. Some may have louder speaking souls in that regard than others, but we all have it. Find it, nurture it, and for heaven sake let it out once in a while. I've found that if you can give yourself the benefit of the doubt, the silence to urge it forward, you will never live in regret. Instead you will be at peace with yourself. And that is worth so much.
Just be happy, y'all :)
