1. Try and be more positive.
For every negative, I'm going to think of two positives to combat it.
2. Take more ME time.
I am going to schedule some time for myself. I live and breathe out of a planner, so I'm literally going to schedule some time for myself. Whether that time is spent reading, writing, or drawing, or even sleeping....it's something I'm going to do for myself!
3. Exercise...probably.
Let's be realistic....exercise is hard to start. And it's like everyone's new year resolution, including mine for the last 5 years. But hey, whether I'm moving for 10 minutes or 100 minutes, it's better than nothing! Plus, setting realistic goals for yourself is half the battle right?!
4. Try and eat better.
I LOVE food. LOVE IT. All food, too. I'm not picky. But maybe I'll just get one cheeseburger instead of two. Maybe I'll get a side of veggies instead of the fries. Maybe I'll eat fruit for dessert. Just like exercise, you just gotta be realistic about your goals.
5. Accept my anxiety.
My anxiety and I have a love/hate relationship. We butt heads a lot. But my anxiety is part of me, and it's time to realize that accepting it and learning to control it is WAY better than letting it control me.
6. Be honest with myself.
It's time to be honest with myself. I'm not a straight A's, quiet, nice, model-esque kinda girl. I struggle, I have curves (fat rolls sounds so vulgar), I'm loud, and I'm a little too sarcastic when I probably shouldn't be. And I'm tired. I'm tired of trying to fit a mold that society or my sense of perfect wants me to be. I want to be honest with myself about my flaws, and I want to know that they're OK to have. Now I'm learning that I think that the best kinda girl to be is me.
