BEING AWESOMER

 

Being awesome is pretty darn awesome, but do you ever wonder, could awesome get more awesome??!?!? Can a level of awesome really be elevated to a new level of awesome? Is saying awesome so many times making you question what awesome even is or if awesome is even a word and WHAT ARE WORDS?!?!?!?

 

Do you know the feeling of doing something so small but feeling like you are the fucking CEO of the world and if you can make your bed what else can’t you do? NOTHING.  Here are my ten favorite little nuggets of joy that will keep you on your game and leave you feeling accomplished AF.  

 

1. MAKE THE BED EVERY MORNING.  How did you not see this coming I literally mentioned it two seconds ago.  Fo real guys, making your bed in the morning is important.  It starts your day with accomplishment and keeps your room looking fresh.  Also, it takes a few minutes so there’s no excuse.  #cleanbedclearhead                    
2. PICK UP THE PHONE.  15 minute phone calls every other day are important.  Your loved ones benefit from hearing from you and you benefit as well.  We are humans. Didn’t you know? And humans need human interaction besides liking and commenting on each other’s social media.  Keeping in touch with the people you care about make you extra awesome and it also will keep you extra happy.  Promise.                                                                                                                                              
3. DAILY CLEAN SWEEP.  If you take five minutes right when you get home from work or in the morning to wash dishes, pick up scattered clothes, or do a quick vacuum, your home will always be in decent shape.  Clutter and mounting chores are the absolute worst so do a little bit every day to keep it all at bay.  #POETRY                                
4. RIP OFF THE BANDAID.  Do the worst thing you have to do that day FIRST THING! You won’t be dreading it all day and then you’ll feel free and easy going for all your other adventures.                                                                                                                              
5. DRINK MINDFULLY.  This goes for all liquids.  When it comes to water, your body has been asleep all night, chug a damn glass when you wake up! And keep chugging throughout the day its truly the best thing you can do to feel amazing always.  When it comes to our favorite thing, BOOZE!!!! Also consider drinking mindfully.  I am totally bad about this but sometimes I just want something to sip for sipping’s sake!!!  (Sipping’s sake should be a cuss word.  It feels dirty).  Think about it though, most of the time we don’t need that extra drink.  We only feel worse in the morning and it was money down the drain.  So have a cocktail or two and live but don’t liiiiiiiiive.  You really don’t need it.                                                                                                                           
6. SWEAT EVERY DAY.  Get active and stop dillyfucking* around! I don’t need to go into this we are children of the 90’s.  Excersise is good.  Do some even if it’s just 30 push ups in the morning.  Buy a damn SkipIt!!!                                                                                  
7. SAY BUH BYE TO SCREENS.  Roughly 30 minutes before bed, ditch the tv or smartphone.  The screens are terrible for your eyes and sleep patterns.  Read a book or do something that relaxes or pampers you before bed.  Everyone in the olden days before computers had a blast I swear!                                                                                                                                   
8. PRACTICE SELF KINDNESS.  If you don’t already, START.  The world is filled with too many assholes for you to be included in the mix.  When terrible words pop into your head CUT IT OUT.  We can’t stop you from embarrassing yourself in public but you deserve to be judgement free at least in your own brain.                                                 
9. LISTEN.  This is a daily challenge but people who listen are just more awesome than the others.  It’s proven science.  You have two ears and one mouth for a reason! Be awesomer than the rest and listen to everyone around you.  You will benefit greatly.                                                                                           
10. CLUTTER DETOX.  Take an hour or three and sweep through your home and throw out or donate anything that lies in your path that does not bring you joy.  You don’t need it and decluttering your space always feels like a million bucks.  If you do the sweep every month or so you will be less likely to live out your years as a hoarder.  

 

Sound simple and doable?  The little things always add up so get out there and be the extra awesome people you were born to be!!!

 

Being super awesome duh,

Verb

To procrastinate and ignore obvious responsibilities, often consciously and to the extent of enraging others impacted by your actions. (I made this word up in a fit of rage when my fiance` and his brother were pissing me off dragging their feet when we had a train to catch. They have no idea how close they were to being assaulted.)
