9 Habits of Super Positive People

  9 Habits of Super Positive People

1. Wake up every morning as though something wonderful is possible today

                        “Today I will do great things”

2. Celebrate Your Existence

• Take a nice bath once a week (or more)

• Plan your outfits instead of just throwing something together at the last minute 

• Buy a staple accessory to boost your wardrobe like earrings or a scarf

3. Appreciate Life’s Perfect Moments

• —----- —----- and mine’s first kiss at the outdoor mall under the soft light of a street lamp with music playing

• Returning from a debate meet, tired but satisfied (judges don’t lose) and I checked my email and I got the lead in the school play and a scholarship to the college of my dreams

• Friendsgiving where we all put our gifts under the table and I unquestionably got the best one (a piece of artwork from my roommate. She had decorated paper with Winnie the and his friends and quotes from the book).

• Thanksgiving dinner with my friend’s family cooked by my ex. Actually that whole weekend was great,

• The freshman Halloween party where sparks were flying between my best friend and I and I met Victoria, a sexy strawberry. Notice this is the only memory that involves alcohol

• New Year’s Eve, kissing Justin at midnight surrounded by the best friends I have ever known. 

4. Embrace Life’s Challenges

• The fact that my meds make me want to eat anything in sight

• Bipolar/ OCD

• The need to confess (an OCD compulsion)

• Panic attacks

• Stomach rolls and dinner rolls instead of a toned stomach

• Still let myself get angry/ hurt about the past

5. Become Addicted to Constant and Never Ending Improvement

Ten Things to Improve:

• Posture’

• Fashion sense

• My “playing it cool game” Hey I didn’t need it to  snag Justin

• My publishing skills

• Grammer

• My anxiety/ being okay with uncertainty

• Less rigid about my inner “rules”

• Not comparing myself to others

• Being more helpful and more of an adult

• My writing because even though I’m talented I can always improve

6. Learn to breathe the truth

Truth: I am nervous about going to Cape Cod next week. It is very stressful time for me. All travel makes me nervous, Memories, panic attacks, feelings, family. I have been going for thirty years and it just seems to get more intense. I’m really glad we started bringing Justin. He’s like a portable therapist that lends me his winter coats on the cold nights.

7. Fill Your Own Bucket

5 Fashion Accessories I’d Bring With Me to a Deserted Island:

• My metal choker which makes me look like some S+M badass

• My music scarf (a scarf with piano notes on it. My high school best friend got it for me from Austria)

• My anxiety earrings (big bold earrings that spell anxiety. Technically I can’t wear these anymore because my holes closed up. Honestly I might get them pierced for the fourth time just so I can wear these earrings again)

• My yellow fluorescent fingerless fishnet gloves

• A pair of sparkly fishnet tights
