The past couple of weeks I have been on a complete downer, which is lame. I haven't been sleeping a lot, something which I have a major problem with anyway, but this has led me to feel incredibly lethargic and irritable all the time. This has resulted in me distancing myself from everyone around me and I basically sat in the same four walls (my bedroom) and only left to go to the loo, bathe or eat. I also didn't really care for much of my uni work apart from essays, I did no reading for lectures and barely showed up.
I was also getting a lot more panic attacks and night terrors, something which I suffer form awfully, which I may discuss in another blog post actually.
But anyway, this is surprisingly not going to be a miserable post because I have made a list! A list of things that will change my life.
Okay so here it goes;
- Healthy eating- I eat a lot of crappy food, either food on the go, food to give me a boost or just something quick and easy. I realise this is making me feel horrid during the day, I am not drinking near enough fluids and basically need to revamp my eating style. So I have decided to cut down on sugar and carbs- to only have carbs with one meal a day and only a small amount. To eat breakfast, which is an important one because as we all know breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I also intend to eat a lot more fresh fruit and vegtables, which luckily I enjoy the taste of :)
- Drink more- Now I don't mean alcohol, infact the opposite. I want to make a concious effort to drink more water, also green tea and fruit juices. I will have the occasional hot chocolate or tea with sugars but not be as relient as I am on them now. Caffeine is going to be cut right down, no more energy drinks or anything like that as I know these are incredibly bad for me.
- Get a normal sleeping pattern- Basic but it's so hard for me to get to sleep and settle on a night. But I am going to start by getting up when Ollie wakes up to go to work and actually get up and get active. Then go to sleep when I am tired.
- Stop worrying- As a human it is only natural that I worry, but I am a worry wart. I am irrastional when it comes to worrying and I think this is what's getting in the way of me sleeping properly. So I am going to make a concious effort to stop getting weighed down with things I can't control. If something is going to happen it will happen anyway.
- Go to uni- I have found some motivation for uni again after a rocky month and I know it's what I want to do so I am going to force myself to go, even if I have only had an hour or twos sleep.
- Be a generally better person- Ollie is one of the most genuine people I have ever met and he has taught me so much about how you should be as a person. He doesn't seem to have a bad bone in his body and doesn't get himself down about what he doesn't like about a person he just gets on with things. Sometimes being civil and being the bigger person is better for your body and mind than arguing your way through life. I can tend to be slightly hot-headed.
- Love myself- If you don't love you how can you expect anyone else to love you?
