With all the craziness flying around in our lives these days, it’s taken me to the limit. When I step back to take a look at the bigger picture, suddenly it all seems so clear. In order to sustain a seemingly normal lifestyle, one must focus on the things that make them happy. For me, acknowledging the things that I love about my daily routine and channeling my energy towards sustaining those passions and habits is priority number one. With a day when we express our love in all forms quickly approaching, I had to get back to the basics.
My favorite part about my everyday schedule is beginning each day with grateful quietness and honoring the simplistic pleasure it gives me. Waking up with positive thoughts to begin the morning is a key step in the process. Clearing my head of all the things that don’t concern me or negative aspects of life going on around me is necessary. Then I move on to study up on key happenings that need my attention or deserve a bit more digging. Putting down my phone and picking up the newspaper is something I like to do because it takes my dependency on technology, which is high, to a place that I can handle and know that I don’t need it as much as I think I do.
Another vital part of the daily process? Coffee. Brew it strong and black and I am a happy boy. Caffeine certainly isn’t something I rely on but makes me a much more friendly person, so to that end I appreciate getting at least a cup (okay maybe two) in first thing. Before I exit the house and begin a task filled world, I remember that I am in charge of my own happiness and lightning up others only makes us stronger. Whether it seems like it or not, everyone is going through something. Perception these days leads us to think otherwise based on social media and other factors, but the human struggle is one we all can feel and support each other through and I choose love.
