Positive
I am going to make a concerted effort to be more positive. I think in general I *AM* a positive person. I think sometimes I get overwhelmed, though, with the crap that goes on and lose sight, for periods of time, of the positive stuff. But I think it's like any other habit, the more you do it, the easier it comes.
I also realized it is very easy to neglect *myself* in the process of taking care of everyone else. I have been getting better about it over the past few weeks, and I think (when I remember) I will document the positive things I did for myself, big and small (and sometimes the smaller things are the ones that have the most impact).
Today I:
*Went to the gym. I did cardio for one hour an fifteen minutes. I took my heartrate up and down several times, and worked up an awesome sweat that made me feel so cleansed and happy. I also did weight training for 20 minutes. I have been trying to focus on opposing muscles every other day. My arms are starting to look nice, and I can feel the difference in my abs!
*I did not smoke. :) This is good. I like to smoke sometimes, but I like being healthy better, and I want to live a long time for my kids and my grandkids.
*I shaved my legs and gave myself a pedicure. Pretty simple, and maybe silly to some. You would not believe the forest that has accumulated on my legs over the winter :) This is not something I worry about that much, but it does feel nice to look and feel sexy.
Welp, there it is :)
