Changes in Attitude and Activities

Do y'all remember this week when I promised to be more positive, to live life and love? Well since my birthday is tomorrow, this change must officially take place now. Why? Because I no longer have an internet connection.

Calm down. I know. I know.

We let our cable bill run its course and yesterday I said to Matt, "Just let it go."

I've always said we rely too much on television and the computer to get us through the day. I'll freely admit that there have been days where dishes have gone unwashed because Facebook was calling to me. And the idea of thinking up activities without television is not only difficult, but can apparently quickly spark an argument. So for now we've chosen to let it go and see what happens.

The internet is still available to me. Either through my phone, or public computers. But now I will be forced to use my time wisely. And choose words carefully.

Which brings me to my next goal: to be more positive.

I was looking at my Facebook updates since the beginning of the year and with the exception of anything blog related, the majority of my updates are complaints about my health, my negative self image, anxiety and being tired.

No more!

26 will be a positive Jia! A Jia who functions a little better and does not click the refresh button more than the start button on the dishwasher.

Below are graphs I made showing my Facebook negativity.
