There’s never been one day something has gone completely
according to plain, let’s be honest that’s just how life seems to be for me. I
haven’t quite come to terms with this yet because I feel strongly that my
perfect day is out there. For now though, while I continue on my quest, there
are a couple of things that I make sure I do every single day, to keep myself
feeling like there’s at least a LITTLE conduct in my life. Like I said, it may
seem like things are all over the place, but it’s organized chaos and there is
SOME method to my madness. Here’s what I like to do daily, regardless of most
other things in life being completely hectic.
// Brush Teeth Immediately
Now I don’t know if there’s any
science behind this or anything (probably not), but for some reason brushing my
teeth immediately, literally before anything else, makes me feel invincible.
Seriously everyone, insanity. Obviously brushing before bed is something that
is done, but when I wake up, I always feel like it’s the first thing I NEED to
do, so satisfying that immediately makes me feel better. It oddly makes me feel
like I can take on the day. Am I the only one like this?
I’m not kidding, I brush my teeth
before I pee. It has to happen.
// Make A To-Do List
This is once I get to work. I feel like I
can never really start the day authentically, if I don’t write a to-do list. I
must admit, sometimes this comes mid-late morning, and when that happens, my
entire day feels a little off kilter. That’s why I consider this so very
important to my daily routine. My days at work get so busy and can be taken in
every single direction, which I absolutely love, but in order to do it
efficiently, it’s so important to keep myself on task somehow. An obvious (yet
simple) way, is with a to-do list.
If you think it’s something you just can’t
do, get cute stationary or a notebook, it might help. If you like to keep your
to-do’s digital, I’m sure there’s an app for that and you can of course always
use your notes app on your computer/phone. I’m telling you, to-do lists are
lifechanging. They keep your mind right and your priorities straight.
// Allow For Things NOT To Go To Plan
This is inevitable, and if you
don’t plan for it, you’ll play yourself. Whether it be in work or in your
personal life, things are bound to fuck up and if you don’t at least ready
yourself for it to happen once per day, you’ll end up falling behind. And hey
listen; if it DOESN’T end up happening, you’re all the wiser! Just allowing for
things to fall off the wagon is something that will put your mind at ease for
when they actually do.
If something gets thrown your way
that you’re not expecting, you can be as prepared for what you have in that
to-do list as you want, but also screwed for this random thing that popped up
if you don’t account for it.
// Make Room Each Day For Happiness
I’ll be writing soon about things I
need to improve on/do more of, and this is absolutely one of them. A lot of
times I spend sooooo much of my day thinking about either hypotheticals or
things that make me sad. Why? What’s the point of this? Chances are, there’s
either nothing I can do to fix something that has already once made me sad one
time; and the damn hypotheticals are HYPOTHETICALS, they haven’t fucking
happened yet. Ugh, I’m getting annoyed at myself just typing this.
Also, a lot of times there are such
simple things every single day that can make us so happy. Think about it, a
read, a cup of coffee sat down and not running around to do things for 10
minutes, a walk outside, a small new little purchase, a call to a friend,
singing a song. These are things that are mostly free and so EASY, yet what do
I (and I’m sure some of you) do? Sit there and wallow. Come on, raise your
hands if you’ve been personally victimized by #thewallow.
These are four things that immediately came to mind when I thought
about preparing for the day. There are of course other things I do like my
skincare routine (I know Brittany, shut up about it), etc. that make me feel
complete for the day, but these four core things really set me straight for my
days. What keeps you out of a daze and into your days? Tweet me and let me
know! Thanks for reading as always. Xoxo-Brit.
