You live longer once you realize that any time spent being unhappy is wasted. -Ruth E. Renkl
Well hello my friends :) so I'm sure you've noticed I haven't updated my blog in about 2 weeks. That was entirely on purpose and by choice. I was curious if these past few months have actually made a difference in my attitude and outlook. And I really wanted to see what would happen if I stopped.
My friend, I have discovered that it actually works. It actually, honest and for truly works. I learned that when I wasn't actively looking for the positive in my life, it was all too easy to slip right back into letting the negative influence my mood for the worse. I tried out no exercise for about a week up until I couldn't take it and had to expend the energy or go stir crazy. And when I didn't actively look to perform that random act of kindness, the center of my thoughts turned inward to settle right down on all my so called problems of life.
These points make a difference for the better.
And so with that, I will start this up again, committing again to complete my three points of gratitude, which I have already successfully done in the past. My new commitment is to #3, that of exercise on a daily basis. And the cherry on top, the one I can do if I choose to do it, is random act of kindness
Drum roll please....
#1. I'm grateful for:
a. Kelly, the stylist that as prompt in scheduling an appointment with me and did a great job on my hair
b. Aaron and Denise at the Salt Lake REI that helped me find a great pair of boots and gave me many o' tips on ski wear
c. My experience in the temple tonight,
#3. Exercise: Walking (this will be better and more specific as the days go on)
#5. Random Act of Kindness: I helped the sister sitting next to me with putting on her shoes as she is 32 weeks pregnant and can't bend that way
