Take care of yourself~

Also on my list of being a better person is taking better care of myself and my body. I made a list for that, too.

Daily:

• Drink 10 cups of water
• Eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and as few sugary snacks as possible. (make sure a lot of your food is vegetables)
  
• Get some form of exercise. Even if it's just stretching.
• Rid yourself of stress. Whether it's by cleaning, knitting, getting work done, taking a walk, or meditating
• Wash your face gently, use a clean towel every time.
  
• Brush your teeth and floss properly. 
• Brush your hair. 
• Write in a journal. Write out your feelings rather than keep them bottled up. Or write down your dreams. 
• Get at least 7 hours of sleep, but 8 - 10 is preferred.
  
• Be kind to yourself.

Weekly:

• Change your sheets/pillow cases.
• Do your laundry.
• Take note of what you accomplished in the last week. Be proud. Don't beat yourself up if you didn't accomplish every single thing you meant to. 
• Clean your room/house.
• If you're working out to a goal, make sure to track it. Feel proud, even if you see no change. You will get there if you keep going. 
• Be kind to yourself. 

Again, since writing this list, I've managed to be consistent with a few of these things.

Act as if you are the person you want to be~

So there's this motivation image on Pinterest that I've printed out and put up on my wall next to the things that make me feel happy.

Another thing that makes me happy and far less anxious is to make lists. So in putting those two things together, I've made this list:

The person I wanna be is:

• Responsible
• Kind/sweet
• Soft spoken, unless she needs not be
• Tough
• Honest
• Stable
• Down to earth

What she does:

• Makes sure she has all of her chores and work done.
• Does her very best at her job, and doesn't half ass anything.
• Doesn't overreact, or give in anxiety or fear.
  
• Eats healthy.
• Works out regularly.
• Does her best to make herself and others happy.
• Reaches her goals in a way that isn't self destructive. 
• Makes time for herself, but doesn't dis her loved ones to do so. 

I still have to print this out so I can see it every day, but so far I'm already making progress.
