Yuki-chan and the Bokeh by Josh Liba

Ram taxi! I like the ram’s attitude: “yeah, so what?”

♣ Inspiration: The good, the bad, and the ugly.

Hipmunk is both adorable and useful – I’ve been pricing flights for kicks even though I haven’t been planning on going anywhere.

♣ If you’re ever in NYC, find the Cupcake Stop truck. Soooo good.

♣ I love The Oatmeal, and agree 100% with The Likability of Angry Birds. Stupid boomerang bird!

In a Rut

02.24.2011, 2 Comments, Personal, by .

I’ve been in such a rut lately. I’ve been feeling bad, both mentally and physically. I’m always tired, I keep getting sick, I get easily frustrated and flustered, and I freak out about every little thing I buy (which is going to be a post in itself).

Being negative is a drain! I’ve been so annoyed at lots of things lately, and I’m sick of it. This morning on the train, I started reading Jessica Mullen’s blog and was amazed just how happy and positive she was about everything. I’ve been challenging myself today to think positively, and man do I feel better!

Of course I haven’t had 100% success — I had a little freak out about a money issue (which was barely an issue) earlier — but on the whole I’ve been pretty good. Instead of thinking how annoyed I was at the train slowing down, I thought about other things I could do with my time while there.

The positive thinking has continued through the day, too.

  • I thought about the new (pink!!) glasses I’m going to get tomorrow that my HSA is going to cover. (No money worries!)
  • The Neon Genesis Evangelion model kit I bought last week that I’ve been slowly painting and assembling. (I thought it would be hard, but it is a lot of fun.)
  • Wearing my new dress that was going to be for Atlantic City to Chipotle for buy one get one free tacos/burritos/burrito bowls with the boyfriend this weekend. (Half price!)
  • Leveling up leatherworking and archaeology in WoW, however geeky it is!

Next step for me? Digesting some positive thinking reading, like the Ultimate To-Do List for Living a Positive Life, Positively Present, and going back through Gala Darling’s Love and Sequins that I picked up a while ago during a sale.

How do you keep upbeat when things aren’t going your way?
