Have a nice day

Life is AMAZING!

I've started a new exercise, where daily I am refelecting on the things that went well. Its not enough to focus on negatives and berrate yourself with complaints. I don't want to make room for vicious cycles in my life. Instead, I am beginning to embrace life and it feels magnificent.

Sometimes, when you do something stop and actually put your attention into it. For example...reading a book. Feel the page between your fingers, the clothes against your skin, pay attention to your sitting, your stillness. Its all absolutely wonderful.

I wish someone had told me earlier the secret to feeling good. It is so amazingly simple too. It begins with you! Forget about extraneous stuff, no one is born with that and you certainly can't take it with you once you are gone. We all have the ability to be conciously happy or negative about a situation, even if we can do nothing about it, at the very least we can accept it learn something move on.

Maybe, if you are reading this today you can try this exercise:

shut your eyes and think of three things that you are grateful for. Focus on those things and you will instantly feel lighter, like things are going your way. Because, things ultimately go your way if you have that mindset.

They don't have to be complicated things at all.

Awesome yesterday

A precarious affirmation to the world. I write 'Hello...I'm Awesome" in blunt, black marker and adhere the sticky, white label to my chest. The day unfolds and for a while I feel untouchable. Oblivious to the curious gazes of strangers who smirk upon my cool, diffident nerve.

Today, I rip off the label and crumple it between my fingers. Not awesome today. I cut the tip of my finger today on a 16 millimetre conduit rod. Those dangerous motherfuckers!They are probably sick of holding up curtains, craving a new and rebellious purpose in life.

Today, I wrap mugs in newspaper. Today, I tell people that eftpos is down and I'd prefer it if they paid in cash or credit. Yesterday was better, Yesterday I was awesome.
