8 Day Rules

Hey guys!

So today I thought I would talk more about learning how to keep yourself happy. With the way that I have been over the past couple of days, it is safe to say that a lot of people can go through rough spots through their years. Sometimes, like in my case, it was for no particular reason. Sometimes I would just accidentally do something small and for the rest of my day I would just sit and be angry until someone else snapped me out of it.

So instead of sitting here brooding over a little bit of this and that, and nothing really in particular, I thought of different rules you could set through your day to help to make the day that little bit easier.

So here goes.

1. Smile at your reflection in the mirror before you leave the house.

2. Dress to impress... yourself. The only opinion that matters is your own. If you feel comfortable in the hoodie that is three sizes too big, then wear it. I won't judge.

3. Don't let people see you for who you aren't. Stick by yourself and never let anyone get you down.

4. If something causes you to get angry or upset, take a deep breath and try to move past it. When something bad happens, you can only move up from it.

5. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't be what you want to be.

6. Always smile, never hide it.

7. It's okay to laugh at yourself, never be afraid to let yourself.

8. Don't care what people think. There are so many people in the world, and a lot who may judge you for whatever reason, but don't let them. Your life shouldn't affect theirs in any way, unless intentional.

I know I post these a lot, and a lot of the time I don't follow them. There have been days where I've wanted to scream, or go back to bed and sleep the rest of the day away. There have been days where I've knocked my pen on the floor and got so frustrated I've wanted to just leave and go somewhere else, forget about what I am doing.

I need to follow my own advice, as well as advice others give me. It's something I am working on anyway.

Never let people stop you from living the life you created.

Never be silenced.

Never be someone you're not.

Smile forever.
