Hey guys! So this post isn’t very informational or keto based, just more so a random ramble of my thoughts. Yesterday when I woke up, it really wasn’t in the right head space. For no exact reason at all I just wasn’t in a good mood. Now, like most people, I’ve had a lot going on recently and a lot of big changes. I have a new lifestyle as far as eating goes, in the last week I’ve completely flipped my work schedule, I’m planning a wedding that’s two months away, I’m about to start school again for the first time in several years…you get the point. Don’t get me wrong, all of these are great things that I am excited about and looking forward to. At the same time, sometimes it can be a lot to handle, especially when you’re a moody 24-year-old who also suffers from pretty bad depression and anxiety. So, when I woke up yesterday not feeling like doing a damn thing, I had to overcome it. I had too much to do and it was my last day off- I had to get myself together. I started with my bullet proof coffee. Everyone has mixed feelings about bullet proof coffee- first let me explain what it is. How I make my coffee is: 1 tablespoon of melted unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon of MCT oil, & roughly 2 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream, blended with coffee. Blending is key- I’ve made the mistake of forgetting to blend it and it was just oil on top of coffee. Yuck! Does it taste amazing? I mean… does it sound like it tastes amazing? No! However, I’ve gotten used to it and it gives me the fats I need to kick start my day and get me going. So, I made my coffee, poured it into one of my favorite coffee mugs, and turned on some jams. Other than getting my coffee in me, music is essential to lift my mood. I turned on my Billy Joel Pandora station and had me a little dance party in my empty apartment. My dogs may have been giving me a funny look, but it made me feel so much better and clear headed. Another thing that helps me feel better is getting dolled up. I took that extra time to curl my hair, put on my make up, and put on a cute outfit. After that I was ready to conquer the world… well, I was at least ready to run my errands! The moral of this story is that it’s okay to not feel good all the time. Even if you have a lot going on mentally- try to take that time for yourself and do things that are going to lift your spirits back up. These are just some things that helped me and got me in the mind set I wanted to be in, at least enough to get done what I needed to do.
What are some things that help motivate you & lift your spirits?
