Day 14

Two week anniversary! All of this has become a lot more than just over coming my acne. I honestly want to be happy, but technically I am. I just want to refresh who I am and really become myself again. By feeling 100% comfortable in my own skin will help me open more doors in my life. I have a bout of break outs that have kind of bumming me out. This led to a false smile, some questions about my regimen, and a LOT of uneeded eating. I dont really eat bad foods but, I tend to eat more when I'm sad, like most people.

This led to me become really angry with myself. At first I blamed the Regimen because it's supposed to be stopping these future break outs and break downs but than I noticed I was the problem. For the rest of my life I want to be able to deal with a break out here and there and be patient. So I believe this is all a HUGE learning curve for me. I want to take a lot from this whole journey, so I've decided to commit to making positive lifestyle changes hat are needed to get me to where I want to be and allow me to never have to fake happiness.

I've taken a few ideas from blogger Dragos Roua and his post A Better Life in 100 Ways. But before I say anything else I want to make it clear that I am in any way depressed. I am happy with myself but, understand simple positive changes that can be made and there is no better day to start the rest of my life than today (cheese-y I know, but the truth) !!

Wanting to change usually has some reason behind it. Once you know why you want to change it is easier to do so. I want to narrow down why I want to change. I believe there are a whole bunch of different factors; boerdom, appearance, trust, the need to be happy, to feel better, everything that has a part in my life is encouraging me to go out and grab who I want to be.

As I go over a few points from Dragos Roua's list, I want to point out I am doing this for myself and I am not looking to please anyone reading this. SO take any negative thoughts elses wear.

The first point that intrests me is #3 Create a new habit, I just think this sounds difficult but fun and I want to commit to creating a habit of Drinking a glass of pure water every morning! To hopefully charge and hydrate me for the start of my day.

#7 Start a new diet  This just kind of made me think that diets aren't just to lose weight. Different foods not only affect what I weigh, but also my skin, my health, my energy levels. I want to find a diet to suit me. Something with carbs and protein before I work out and light meals during the day. I really want to stick to eating as many organic, natural food products as possible.

Another one that caught my attention was #8 start a journal.  I absolutely love to write so this won't be difficult for me to get into the routine of sharing my thoughts, feelings, and ideas with an open page. I think by keeping everything inside I'm only stressing myself out. So if i can relax and just vent on paper I'll definatly give it a try.

#9 Create and keep a Morning phrase don't really know what mine would be but, I want one! I need to give this some serious thought.

There are sooo many usuful inspiring thoughts on this list I wish I could share them all! But I want to make my own 100 list so I am going to end this post here!
