Advice without a price.
Ok so I have been thinking about this a lot lately. The more I think about it and put it into practice the more I see it working before my eyes, I thought I would share it with the rest.
First off, don't be afraid or put off alone time. Honestly, I had never been alone in my apartment so much in my life until now. My fiance has a busy ass school schedule, which is great, she is pursuing and working hard at her own dreams as I am mine, However it takes up a lot of her time, therefore I get a chance for a lot of alone time, considering I am currently unemployed ;). At first, being alone for long periods of time literally scared the shit out of me, like I had to wipe up and everything. No not really, just a little humor for you. I didn't really enjoy my time alone when she was gone at first, my whole life it seemed like I was always surrounded by someone else. It was scary to me, I could hear the dead silence of the room, I could have turned the TV, but I don't watch the crap on that anymore. As time passed, I read up on Jason Mraz's daily journal, and came across a few interesting "Secrets" that really made me feel I have to cherish the time I have alone, it is a great time to go deep in your own mind, and really find yourself and who you are.
This is no lie, I can sit in my apartment for 15 minutes at a time or however long I feel appropriate in the dead silent and close my eyes trying to really relax and dig deep into my mind. I try to just take in everything and be thankful for all that is around me. The funny thing about it is it is entertaining, I really enjoy it, I find myself looking forward to times where I will be alone and get to experience this mental bliss again. Now this does not mean I don't like spending time with my fiance, or I want more alone time, I just think it is important to be happy inside yourself first, this will lead to happiness for those around you.
Self happiness can go so far it is crazy. With the wild world we live in, there is so much going on and so much to do that a lot of us don't find the time to sit down and really find ourselves, who we are, what we love, or even what we do not love. A lot of us get caught up trying to be someone else, or imitate others, trust me I have been there. There is a "Secret" I read that said, "Your body is a result of all your thoughts and feelings" thinking about that it really makes sense. My mind is closest to the most positive it has ever been, there is still tons of room for more but I feel really good about where I am at, family, friends, music. At the same time, my body is in some of the best shape it has ever been too. I honestly think, my body is a result of the good positive vibes that I'm catching. It somehow helps me drag my ass to the gym every day and really take care of my self, this is who I am, this is my body, it deserves to look as good as it can.
So find time for yourself, discover yourself, find out who the real you is. Also take care of your body, exercise, eat healthy, keep yourself looking good. Two simple things that can lead to loads of awesomnessssnessnesss. I promise. It is not easy however, I made it sound easy in the above paragraphs, you have to be dedicated, and stick with it, or else like anything else, it won't be as good as it can be, but once your there, you'll know, trust me, you'll know.
