For some reason I just get so annoyed by people talking about going on diets or even going to the gym for their resolution. I mean lets face it, doesn’t it scream, “I hate my body”? People think that by changing their outer selves, somehow they will be better, be happier, etc., etc. When really this is not the case. There are skinny ass girls and guys who are miserable out there in the world. Let me tell you, I used to be a skinny ass miserable person… no, I did not have an eating disorder or have one now. I was simply skinny from genetics. I know, I have been told I am a bitch multiple times because of this. *Sigh* Oh well, I’m okay with that.
Anyways, one of the best ways to be happier is to accept yourself. Accept your overemotional, hesitant, terrified self. All of it; become one with your emotions and deal with it as you go. Of course when I say you, I really mean me. I admit to it, I am an overemotional, sensitive, terrified person. I do not like unpleasant emotions nor do I like vocalizing them, most of the time. I am always so scared of hurting someone’s feelings by telling my opinion and how I feel about the situation. So what exactly is my resolution? It’s to confront my feelings, and address them as they appear.
I have decided that this resolution is one that everyone should do because when I have accepted my emotions and figured them out. I am much happier with myself because I am being true to who I am. And guess where this leads? You guessed it … or maybe not. This will change your outer self. How? Well silly, when your inner self is happy, you tend to smile and laugh more. Smiling brings a healthy glow to your cheeks and makes you look younger, and laughing works your abs. Also when you’re happier (at least for me) you don’t eat as much. You won’t eat for comfort or from being bored. You also tend to choose more active activities, which is a form of exercise! Who knew?!?
I also have found that happy people attract other happy people, making a group of overly happy people! Who wouldn’t want that?!?! … I’ve come to understand the miserable people wouldn’t. Sorry miserable people, I truly don’t mean to offend you.
Then, get this, when you’re surrounded by happy people, a.k.a. men and women, you’ll get to know them and maybe just maybe become attracted to one of them and that same one will be attracted to you. (By the way, this last part has not been tested.) And you’ll decide to be in a relationship and it will like a fairytale. Literally. Because the man will wear shining armor and the woman will wear a dress and they will kiss in the end and be happy. True story… I think. Maybe I got some parts wrong, oh well.
Then to make everything come together beautifully, one must dress the part. If you’re kind of feeling malicious towards your body, remember that is a feeling too, so confront it and say “Damn girl (or guy), you need to work on your attitude, but once I fix you up, you will be worth a million bucks!” Then do something fun, like running around the house screaming profanity, or a hobby. It’s your choice. And if you are still having terrible feelings about your body, then take a shower, put on your favorite shoes (and clothes), tiny bit of make-up if you’re a woman, and say “I feel fabulous; therefore, I am fabulous,” to yourself in the mirror, better yet say it to a loved one, mother, father, sister, brother, spouse, or even a stranger. My suggestion is to say it to the stranger. It would be an amazing ice breaker! Just don’t say it too confident, otherwise the stranger will think you’re cocky, and that is so not cool. I mean there is confidence and then there is too much confidence.
Out of all the resolutions, the emotional one is the best and coolest. I mean, what other resolution will make you happy; feel younger and maybe lose weight; open the door to a new social life, which leads to a new love life (again maybe); and show your sparkling personality? That is right, none! No other resolution could be as amazing as this one, and to think, little ole me thought of it! Maybe I am a closet genius! Hmm… I believe that is it.
