Beautiful Day ~ Daily Log 3/12

I woke up to birds chirping outside my window, the sun bright in the sky. It is such a lovely day to be alive.  I am so thankful to be where I am today... in a great apartment that I decorated myself, with a lovely garden, in a beautiful city.  There may be bad days here and there, but all in all I realize how truly lucky I am.  In a few months, my life will be changing completely, and I can't wait to go forth on that journey. Until then, I know some amazing and caring people that I can't wait to live it up with for the next few months until graduation.

Today will be a very productive day.  I have my essay to finish, extra credit to complete, and an event to throw. I'm also incredibly sore from my workout yesterday, which is a good thing! Each day I'm just a little bit closer to Spring Break :) I can't wait to show this world what I've got.

"What Went Well" Exercise
1.  I've realized I can control my mood and feelings, and not let them control me.

• Why did this happen? There are shitty things that happen in this life, but why should you focus any of your precious energy on them? Through simple reevaluation, you can try to see situations clearly and oftentimes realize that whatever happened might just be a blessing in disguise.
• How can I make this happen more?  Be aware of your feelings, and what causes them.  Realize it is your thoughts about the situation, not the situation itself, that causes your reaction.  Work to change your thought process. 

2.  We got our tallies for office coverage this quarter, and out of all 29 of my colleagues, I had the highest tally :) Which means I don't have to work move out / in, and I look incredibly awesome to my bosses.

• Why did this happen? I volunteered to work 30 min extra each week (which adds up) which not only makes their life easier, but it works to my advantage as well.  I often get homework done during this period, so its worked out well!

3.  I finished my last event of the quarter, and it went really well!

• Why did this happen? With hard work, creativity, and determination, we got it done :) Never doubt yourself, and never be afraid to ask for help or ideas!
