Positivity Manifests Positivity

After I finished writing last night I went right to bed. I slept so well. I was so comfortable, the bed felt so good, I wasn't too hot or too cold. I wasn't in pain. It's like everything aligned just right, so that I could sleep well. I woke up feeling so great. It didn't make getting out of bed any easier, but it did make the day go better. I think it goes without saying that I need to work on my night time routine. I stay up way too late (as I write this at 1:15am), and I don't follow the little rituals that help me sleep better. Like having a cup of tea, coming to bed earlier, leaving my damn phone alone. I know what I need to do, I just need to work on the discipline needed to implement small, healthy changes.

It goes without saying that positivity manifests positivity. Even though I still have many moments when I'm unhappy with my job or work in general, I'm coping better. I accept that I need to work for my income, and that income is needed to care for my family. It's non-negotiable. I have to work. So, I might as well not make myself any more miserable than I have to be. I'm stressing less, and putting less emphasis on my numbers, and doing more to get to more customers. Helping more people, which in turn is helping my numbers. It's all connected. I might be hiding out in the fitting rooms less, too. Okay, that's probably not true. I still go back there to hide. Just less often.

Another fun little development that made work more interesting was S Health. It's an app on my phone that tracks my steps, miles, calories burned, stress levels, pulse ox, heart rate, and so many other things. I was challenged to keep myself moving because I wanted to collect steps! I wanted to see what the average day looked like. My final tally was 6.02 miles, and almost 11,000 steps. It tells me my calories burned too, but it resets at the end of the day and I don't know what the final number ended up being. I took a screenshot, I guess I could look at that... 687 calories! not to shabby! I like the accountability of knowing my phone is tracking my very move.

I'm having a cup of Japanese brown rice and matcha tea, and I can't get over how good it is. It mostly tastes like green tea, but there's a nice warmth and nuttiness, too. It smells like cooking rice, which isn't entirely unpleasant. I like it. I also found the same brand of green tea Snookums and I had at Bahn Thai the other night. It's also a Japanese tea. Not matcha, but just regular green tea. It had such a great aroma and flavor. Not at all bitter.

I'm fighting sleep. I have to go for now. I hope I can sleep half as well as I did last night!
