A few blog posts ago I wrote about how I was going to try to motivate myself in everyday life by simply writing down "What have I done today?" and "What do I want to achieve tomorrow?". Overall this simple technique has been very successful for me.
I've finished uni for this semester, I have a month off and I want to feel like I'm actually doing something everyday rather than just simply work and laze around the house. So by writing down and asking myself "What have I done today", even if it's just playing music, reading or practicing Spanish, for me that makes me feel like I have done something rather than lay on the couch on the internet or watching TV until I have to go to work that night.
So far this week I have been to the gym everyday, cleaned up around the house, gone rock climbing, practiced Spanish, started writing again, playing music and caught up with a couple of friends. Over the weekend I'm checking out a gig I won tickets to for Saturday night, having my Spanish lesson, hanging out with a friend on Sunday and hopefully doing anything else that comes up. So although these aren't any major exciting thrilling things, I find just doing at least one productive thing a day makes me feel a lot happier with myself and with life, that I am not just wasting my time.
I'm sure after a while I'll stop writing things down as I more or less make more of a conscious effort to do more in my life, but for now this is working for me and I'd recommend doing this for anyone who feels that they're just not getting enough out of life.
On another note, not only finishing uni for the semester I have also completed my 3 month Hello Sunday Morning. Hello Sunday Morning is simply an opportunity to take a 3 month/6month/12month break from drinking. I didn't have a drinking problem, for me this was just another experience, and at the end of it all, an extremely positive experience which I'm happy I did. Here's a link to my page on Hello Sunday Morning with my blogs from my experience http://hellosundaymorning.com.au/members/rhiannonrymer/.
To finish this post off, a quote from Jimi Hendrix,
"All I'm gonna do is just go on and do what I feel"
