Being Sick is Great!

Not really. Being sick sucks. But, I am practicing the "if you don't feel it fake it," approach to my life these days. 

It is often said that the best way to gain confidence is to act like you are confident even if you aren't. Eventually all that faking will even trick yourself! Well, I am tricking myself into being a more positive person.

This is what I would look like today if I was a pumpkin.
Instead of thinking to myself 

"Oh, Im soooo miserable!" 

"I wish I had my mom!"

"I have never felt this bad in my LIFE."
 
I am going to step away from my usual negative attitude and focus on the positive... 

Missing classes today allowed me the ENTIRE day to work on homework and study for a test. I even finished writing my Spiritual Autobiography for Theology!

I got to talk to my boyfriend on the phone for two freakin' hours! I haven't had time to talk on the phone with someone that long since middle school! 

I got to waste time watching hours of VH1s Top Artists of All Time... and I'm sorry but, Beyonce should not be ranked higher than The Beastie Boys.... lol!

On my journey too finding myself I have decided that I WILL be a happy positive person. Since I'm not quite in my happiest place right now, I'm gonna fake it till I find it!

  6. I jumped over from your moms blog to say hi :)

    It's good to see the positive side of things, the more you do that the happier you'll be and won't have to fake it! (except sometimes... everyone has bad days lol)

    I hope you feel better!
