I was in a funk a week ago and feeling depressed so I made a list of things I could do that would make me happy.
It’s amazing how putting the ball in motion and just doing a little something one day lead to doing more things. Each day I kept doing things that make me happy and it doesnt feel like it takes as much work and effort.
First I put more energy into my clothes and played with makeup. Even though I still chose to wear comfy clothes, my new lemon patterned pj shorts make me really happy.
Then I found myself setting a new intention at the start of the day which really helps me.
Then I started spending a little more energy on shopping for food and cooking.
And recently I got a bunch of paintings moved to my apartment and nailed them up today. I painted this when I got back from Japan in July.
All these little things can make such a difference! I love having paintings on the wall. It just doesnt feel good without it.
When I listed all the things I could do last Sunday, it seemed like a lot but its amazing how giving myself to start small always snowballs.
Try making a list if you are bummed! And don’t feel pressure to do it all at once, just start small.
That might be my ultimate secret to faster progress! You can be proud of what you are writing and creating in your life a way that doesn’t feel like a struggle.
