I used to be the opposite of a morning person and sometimes, I can still slip back into bad habits/mindsets. Throughout the past couple months, I realized what my life was missing. I realized that I never wanted to get out bed most days because my life consisted of doing things for other people, doing what other people wanted me to do. When you’re a kid living under your parents roof or you have a job you hate, you have to do this to a certain extent. I tried to please others while still trying to do things that made me happy and it never seemed to work. It was like I could never have both. Since living on my own, I have made a decision to do what I wanted to do and focus on what made me happy and what brought meaning to my life. I think we all struggle at a point in our lives trying to figure out what we are passionate about and what we should pursue. There are all these things and all these people telling us we need to do this or that to “be successful” or “live a happy life” but really, nobody can tell you what is going to lead you to a “happy life”. You have to figure that out for yourself, and have FUN along the way. I am guilty of stressing way too much about things because I am a perfectionist and I spend too much time trying to make things better when they were already good enough… It’s a gift and a curse haha the point is, we can forget to have fun sometimes when we are trying to figure out our path in this life, because yes, it can totally be stressful and overwhelming. I have to remind myself to live in the moment and the things I want in the future will come as long as I stay true to myself and keeping doing what I love everyday. And of course, it always helps to have some warm hot chocolate on a cold morning with some snuggles from Aubrey! Having her also helps me get out of bed and get my day started because I know I have to take her outside and feed her. I now feel more excited than ever when I wake up in the mornings because I have so many personal projects to work on, and these projects are for me and that brings me so much satisfaction which then turns into happiness 🙂
