A couple of weeks ago I wrote a post titled 'Being a happy person'. To be honest, since then I've been on a bit of a self destructive warpath emotionally. I've not exactly had one particular thing happen to make me feel so 'meh' I think it is just a build up of little things that amount to this. Back in August I was a completely different person to the one I am now, emotionally. I was in such a positive frame of mind. I think I've just fallen into a bit of a slump and I need to drag my arse back out of it.
So this is 'Being a happy person post #2' and this is my end of year resolution:
1. Exercise
I was exercising all the time and enjoying it. I was really starting to see some results and I felt great about myself. Tomorrow I'm going to try and get my fitness motivation back and start to love it again. It's very easy to lose motivation but picking it up again will take some work.
2. Diet
I wouldn't say I've been too bad with my diet, however I've not been brilliant either. I have a terrible habit of picking up food when on the go, particularly when I'm darting between meetings. This stops now.
3. Work
Work has been CRAZY busy recently. I have a lot of shows about to open and I feel like I'm constantly chasing my tail. I'm going to make sure I take a lunch break every day. Even if it's just 10 minutes. Stepping away from the computer to get some fresh air is so important and actually makes you more productive. Truth.
4. Phone time
I feel like this is an obvious one. I really need to spend less time on social media. I don't think I actually do anything of real importance on there anyway. Mostly I lurk around and compare myself to other people. And what does that really achieve? I am going to make a real effort to not waste so much time on Facebook and Instagram and instead have actual phonecalls. There is something really refreshing about having a good phone conversation with a family member or friend. I always feel really happy as I've not had to waste time wondering how a text was meant to be read, I can hear the tone in the other person's voice.
I will let you know how I get on!
Have a great Tuesday.
