The "For Sures" list

I've been in such a good mood recently. I am so grateful to be able to express myself in this blog, be able to spend time with my friends and family, have the experiences I do to be able to share and phrase them in a way that is enjoyable (maybe?) to read and a good time to write. This blog is honestly a journal for me and a venue that allows me to express myself while also hopefully making you laugh... whether that be with me or at me, who knows... For some reason, Tiktok has been telling me that there is something coming for me soon, a big golden opportunity, and I feel like I believe the algorithm. I'm in a place where I feel like I'm vibrating at a higher energy and that I'm the most myself I've been in a long time. And honestly, I think I can partially attribute this good feeling to being able to name my necessities or in my case, I call them my "for sures". I was in a place where I didn't know what I wanted and everything was so gray and up in the air that I may have lost myself. I wasn't singing as loud in the shower, I wasn't giving my boyfriend the best of myself, and I found myself constantly complaining. What kind of life is that? So I decided on change.

I named my "for sures", the definite things that would make me happy. And obviously this list can't be created once and be the same for the rest of your life, so they will change but I think it's invaluable information that you need to remind yourself on a regular basis. It just makes you value what you have so much more and puts you in this state of gratefulness that just is overwhelming. Again, this blog is used as my journal and I'm kinda just putting my thoughts out there, but don't you think that naming all the things that will keep you happy will help you stay motivated in your day to day life? Without actually naming all of my for sures, I will give you a few so you have an idea of what I mean.

A "for sure" of mine is that I play music whenever I shower and sing like no one is listening. And as ridiculous and cliche as that sounds, it is a thing that I do and practice that puts me in one of my absolute best moods. I feel like when I'm in a bad mood, people get the worst of me and that's the last thing I want others to conceptualize about me. So to combat that, I take the hottest shower you could imagine (yes, I'm one of those super steamers that come out with red marks on their back that are basically burns from how scalding hot the water is) and sing to put myself in a place where I am actually happy and others can feel that and not be turned off by my sour mood. Another "for sure" has been working out. A little sweat will always go a long way. I just realized I might also love it because I am listening to my workout playlist and just jam out by myself, in my own head, without having to listen or talk to anyone else. Anyways, those are a couple of my for sures. I thought sharing this may be helpful, and as basic as it seems, I think too often we don't realize how easy it is to make ourselves feel better. So make a for sures list and whenever you're feeling down, have it accessible and do a couple things that make you happy. After all, this is your own life that you're creating. Just trying to spread the love and happiness in hoping you realize that your mindset is in your hands. You don't have to live by a certain standard to be "happy", just live to your own happiness standard. Love you, mean it.
