Okay. So life isn't that shitty. I was just upset at myself for not sudying and being an irresponsible drunkard. It shant happen again!
I have realized soemthing about myself. Actually, I have known it for awhile, but recently it keeps reappearing and reminding me of its importence.
In order to keep myself mildly happy (or at least appeased), I need to stay active. Constantly. There is a time and place for naps and relaxation do-nothing time, but it is absolutely necessary for me to make the transition from relaxing to working. Because if I don't, or I only half-ass my motivation, I ultimately end up doing nothing.
I need to remember and realize that there is virtually always something to do (instead of nothing to do). I really enjoy having something to do all the time... The only time I get annoyed by activities is when one unexpected activity prevents me or delays me from perferming another.
I just forget that there are things to be done, almost always. I think I would feel better if I saved my relation time for when there is literally nothing left to be done.
In my life, there is always cleaning to be done, homework, excercise, and work. These things need to come before spending time with others and just laying around.
I really think this is the formula to keep me active and happy.
I usually put things off because I don't realize there are other things that need to be done AFTER the thing I am putting off. Haha, does that make sense?
I think the essence to feeling happy, confident, and motivated (for me) is feeling that the things that need to be done are important. I mean, not life or death important, but have a general sense of obligation and responsibility.
Now now, don't I sound like little miss do-it-all? Hah. I am usually such a slacker. And I know all of this sounds overwhelming, but as long as I make time, focus my energy and thoughs, and keep myself motivated, I can do practically anything and everything!
I've also found that when I stay active, I eat less. Always good. Or at least, I eat less often. Food just doesn't seem to be as entcing. I have other things to do than eat. You know, the more I think about it, the more I realize that I use food as a boredom-eliminator... Almost always.
Bored at school?
Grab a bite in between classes.
Don't have much to do with friends?
Go out and get coffee or lunch.
Home?
Eat.
Haha. Thus is the thinking-responding system of my brain.
Also, being active keeps my confidence up which in turn makes me a better person all around. When I am confident I am not suspicious, nor do I feel insecure. Whcihreally just makes me a better girlfriend. Haha. And I can rely less on the other person to make me feel good. Well, I usually rely on myself to feel good but you know... when you get insecure you tend to flock to other people to make you feel better.
So when I feel good, I act good and goodness just happens all around! Haha.
All of this goodness really does come from me staying active. I have seen it so many times it's just the same old story for me now. Aaaaand I guess the trick is to give myself some enticing reason to INITIATE the motivation.
It's like feaking Newton's Law or something:
Once a Cece is in motion, she will stay in motion until an outside occurence forces her to rest.
Once a Cece is at rest she will stay at rest unil she finds the freaking motivation to get off her ass again.
Aaaaand that is all I have to rant about now. Since I've been sitting around for a while to write this all down, I need to get up again and clean house!
