number one - treats
don't get into a routine of having a lovely bath every night or your favourite food every day as it will lose it's purpose and isn't really a treat anymore. so now instead of having a hot chocolate every night, i only have it on a sunday and go all out and it definitley feels like a proper treat and it actually makes me feel happier than having it all the time
number two - sleep
i have recently started going to sleep earlier and waking up earlier and it really has made a difference with my mood and fatigue. studies show that between 10 and 12pm is when you get your best sleep, so i have been shutting down electroinc devices at 9.30pm and reading for half an hour and then waking up at between 8-9am. i also wake up very slowly and that makes a massive difference and sets you up for the day calmly.
number three - inspirational quotes
a few weeks after new year i started to feel that 'new year motivation' was going, so i went on pinterest and found a bunch of insporational quotes and pinned them. so if i'm ever feeling a bit down or sometimes just in the morning to start off the day! this really makes me feel determined and happier and just ready to concur the world!
number four - goals
set yourself goals, daily weekly monthly whatever works for you. I am always setting goals for many different things wether it be passing a test in school or learning a new dance move, make it personal. also reward yourself with something when you accomplish a goal and that will encourage you do set more goals and achieve more. this makes me feel so good inside when I see progress and it makes me more productive and determined.
number five - appreciate things
i know i have changed for the better since i have a chronic illness but i feel like everyone (including me) takes things for granted. recently i have really appreciated the simple but the best things in life such as family and friends and just having a good chat in person. as much as i love my internet friends there is nothing like catching up with your friend at your house!

number six - do things you want to do
this is a pretty obvious one, but don't live your life for other people. do everything for you and do things that you enjoy and make you happy :)

number seven - get fresh air
i am not the type of person who is always outside, but this is one of my aims once the weather gets warmer and i done this in about october and just went for a walk with my friend round a local park and it really done me good and i really enjoyed it. i think it's good to kind of slip away from reality a bit <3
number eight - make other people happy
last week i was feeling really good and thought of all the people who could be struggling, so i made a few edits and wrote a really long caption for my spoonie youtubers! they appriciated it so much and it made me feel so good. also don't always expect something back, but always treat others the way you want to be treated ;)). i also done a internet best friend appreciation post thing and i ended up making my friend cry!(in a good way)
number nine - be organised
stress is something that everyone experiences at some point and it really does make you unhappier and just down if you are really organised. everything doesn't have to be neat or you need to get all new things, but if you just plan ahead it will make a massive difference. leave a comment below if you want me to do a blog post on organisation ;)
number ten - take care of yourself
this means to take time out for yourself to relax and de stress no matter how busy you are. i like to have a lovely deep hot bath with some bath treats at least once a week! every night i always have about 2 hours to myself watching youtube in bed and just chilling :)
