My plan was to get up earlier every morning and meditate. Not surprisingly, I have not meditated since last Thursday. BUT, I have been getting up at least 15 minutes earlier. Monday, I used that time to shave and give my hair a good washing because I hadn't showered since Friday (don't judge me). I also put away some laundry. I have time to put on my eyeliner which takes a little bit longer. Today, I used that time to change my earrings which I've been meaning to do for about a week. I also took the time to put my new Avon lotion on my feet. I have more time to play with Amelya too. It's really the only time of day she's feeling lovey. She likes to sit on the bathroom counter with me while I get ready and she'll rub her face against mine if I lean down. Or, some days, she likes to push shit off the counter. SO, there's a good 50/50 chance she'll be an asshole all morning.
I got my Gratitude journal out and have been making more of an effort to write in it everyday - even if it is just one sentence. I have definitely come to the conclusion that I don't like writing in journals because my handwriting looks like I'm fresh out of kindergarten.
The book I'm reading now is The Happiness Project. At first I was excited to read it, then I thought maybe this isn't quite what I'm looking for, and now I'm liking it. The author takes a year long journey to becoming happier. Won't go into all the details, but I think even if each chapter/month isn't for you, there's still some helpful advice/information throughout.
I think I mentioned recently that I started going to therapy. Tomorrow will be my second session and I couldn't be more excited. There's nothing more refreshing than getting advice from a third party. Or, just being able to vent to someone who is a complete stranger. Seriously. If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend it.
