Dog days are OVER.

You know how I did that post a while ago, about being stuck in a rut? Well it's gotten worse. Especially this week. I've done nothing but sit in bed, and cough and blow my nose. I know I've been majorly MIA in the blogging world lately. I just like don't really feel like doin much lately. Okay, it's not THAT bad but really; just listen.

I've never had to live in a LEGIT winter before, and not gonna lie, it's kinda depressing! Like at first it's fun. Snow, cute hats and scarfs, but after a little it gets so old! Especially getting sick so much easier (cause sometimes I forget I don't live in St. George anymore.. and just forget to even wear a coat) and how dark it is outside. Like blah! I love the snow on the mountains, seriously prettiest thing ever, but HATE the snow on my car. I love getting all bundled up all presh and such, then having to rip it all off the second you get into school cause its 500 degrees in there. I am so negative huh?!
Well the reason I'm doing this post is to tell you guys (mostly myself) how I'm gonna change it all and become a happy, winter or no winter, positive person!

Today I changed my room around. It hasn't changed since I moved in, and needed something different. I hardcore thought it all out in my head. Every possible way I could make it work and then threw it out there at Chan and Buck to see what they thought. They thought I was weird and so random. I made them get they're non-positive change promoting attitudes off the couch and away from law and order, and we moved my 4857439 pound bed. It looked hideous. I wasn't giving up. I moved some more stuff around.. well everything around. And WAH-LAH. Honestly, it's already such a good change. I'm sitting on my newly placed bed, looking at my newly placed desk and loving that my iHome is now sitting right next to me. I'm even more loving that it's playing Dog Days are Over by Florence + The Machine. It's so appropriate. Yay so much positivity is radiating through me right now!
Tomorrow I'm starting a new diet. I'm SO motivated to stick with it, cause some stuff has happened the past couple days that have majorly triggered motivation. Including me and C COVERING our mirror in motivational stuff. We attacked it with the dry erase markers. It's literally SO motivating. Having to stare at it every time you look in the mirror just like forces you to want to do what it says. Hahaha dead serious, try it!

It's time. As of today I am accepting change in every single possible way. I don't care how it comes at me, but I'm not gonna question it anymore. I spend too much time over-analyzing every single thing that happens to me. That's over. I'm letting go faster, experiencing new things and I know I'm gonna grow as a person even more.

I'm a little caterpillar and soon I'm gonna break through this stupid cocoon and fly away!
Okay, maybe not.. but I am gonna let things come as they may.

You should too?

Found this quote in my phone today, I put it in there forever ago, but it just struck me really hard.

The minute you start enjoying yourself and the person you've become, when you walk into a room with your head held high, the minute you wake up and are GLAD to be you: the possibilities and opportunities will come knocking at your door.

It's so true. The best things in life happen when you least expect them to. We shouldn't worry about anything besides being happy and confident with the person we are. Once that happens, everything will just come naturally perfectly. I have too many amazing people in my life, I don't wanna bring them down anymore. I want to be the one helping bring them up.
