High: The pinnacle of my day culminated in the writing of a letter to my father. I wrote him a letter detailing what he’s done for me. or with me, for which I am thankful. It’s important to communicate to those you love why and how they are fundamentally important to your life. One of the lessons Dave Carnegie teaches in his book, How to Make Friends and Influence People, is that what people pine for most of all is to feel important. If you can make someone feel important why shouldn’t you (even if their ego isn’t your responsibility). But, writing such a letter wasn’t so much for my dad as it was for me. It gave me the opportunity to gain perspective and gratitude (which studies show elevate your overall happiness).
Low: Lets just say I hate a dirty kitchen, especially when the countertops are cluttered with food and the knarly ish on the floor sticks to the bottom of your feet. YOU need to learn to clean while you cook.
Learned… I really enjoy cheesy apocalyptic novels.
Grateful for… Jillian Michaels… and YouTube… and baths… trashy apocalyptic novels… wine… and chocolate. Nothing kills the low of your day like a nice endorphin rush inspired by jillian Michaels “motivating” (i.e. screaming) you by remarking on every one of your insecurities (yeah, thanks Jill. I don’t need your help to know I have a pooch and my thighs jiggle), followed by a hot bath, a glass of wine, and, well, you get the idea.
