Thank you so much for your encouragement and support with yesterday's admissions about trying to refocus and find my way. With that in mind I have one other item to share that I made in an attempt to improve my outlook.
I made my bed.
As I'm sure you might have suspected from the joy that organizational projects bring me, I am pretty compulsive about keeping our house uncluttered. My deep, dark dirty secret in this whole "nice and neat" persona is that I rarely make our bed. Our comforter was way too heavy so we didn't sleep with it most of the time and it never fit well, I am an atrocious morning person so getting out of bed is hard enough sometimes, and it's been easier to leave it a mess if I ever need to crawl back into it with a migraine.
Last week I discovered this information about making your bed and what a difference it can make in your whole day. Studies have shown it can help you be happier over all. People also have repeatedly sited making their bed everyday as a catalyst for other accomplishments in their life.
I need those small motivators right now, so I turned a couple graduation gift cards into a lightweight quilt that fit the bed easily, I cleaned out the storage box at the foot of the bed and dug out some shams I found months ago.
It already feels so much better. I love that something so simple can help improve your outlook every day.
Okay, now that I admitted that I've been remiss in my bed making over the years it's time to fess up with me...do you make your bed everyday?
