Happy Week!

This is a bit of a spur of the moment blog post, because this week was supposed to be the most depressing week of the year (or at least Monday the most depressing day.) It's mostly down to paychecks and money, but I still got a bit pooped, because I hate being miserable.

Anyway, despite all that, I've actually felt really happy so far this week and it seems to be going super fast. I've done nothing but laugh for the past few days and the only negative I've been thinking about is tests (oh yay. Revision, fun...)

 I've made a few changes in my life that I feel may have contributed to this:

1) Exercise- I've been doing a bit of exercise every day. It doesn't have to be anything drastic, just a bit of time out of my day to get my heartbeat going:)

2) Eating better- When I say 'better' I don't mean '5 a day' better, because I feel like 5 a day is a lot, especially because all people eat now is junk food. I do love my junk food, but I've been trying to eat more healthy, even if it's just replacing one thing on my plate with some vegetables or something different. I made homemade pasta sauce with my Dad on Monday and it was really yummy!

3) Calm.com- This website helps you to stay relaxed. I saw Tanya Burr talk about it in her Q&A video. It could be considered 'meditation', but all it really is, is sitting for 2, 5, 10, 15 or 20 minutes (your choice) either with a voice guiding you or just music on it's own (again, your choice) and it helps you to relax. It also makes you super sleepy!

4) Clearer skin- I've been trying to keep my skin clear and spot-free lately. Spots stress you out loads and having clear skin not only raises self-confidence, but you feel so much better. I have a skin care routine coming to my channel soon!

So that's it! I'm proud that I'm achieving my 'be more positive' resolution. Hope your week's going well and I'll see you on Saturday!

Question of the blog: How do you stay positive?
