Welcome puppets, poppets, pervs, and curious pedestrians to the world and word of Sydney Claire.
Today is the day. What day is it? It is the day you are finally going to break free, and make some alterations in your way of thinking, which in turn will change your life in meaningful ways.
How does one begin? Which step is of prime importance? Fret not little chickadee, for I am here to guide you along the path.
Step 1
Wake up in the morning, and before you even open your eyes, give thanks, and be grateful for the blessings you have been given.
Now some of you sour duds may be of a mind that your life is an utter pile of steaming dog doo, and that you have nil to be thankful for, but you would be wrong. This type of negativity is one of the reasons why your life sucks dirty dishwater. You are the root cause of discontent in your life. YOU.
Sure it is easier to blame someone else for everything wrong in your life, but that is not what mentally healthy people do. You absolutely must own your decisions whether good or bad, right or wrong. Personal responsibility is a requirement, not simply an avoidable option. Of course some of you have been molded, even scarred by circumstances out of your control in your childhood, but using those experiences as a crutch and excuse for poor decision making is not helping you one little bit. Resolving lingering issues is your responsibility, and by resolving, I am referring to working them out and letting them go. Cease ceding power over your life to whatever, and whoever wronged you. Get into therapy if need be. Heal yourself in order to be whole. This process may take years, but that is ok, so long as you are putting in the work.
Moving forward
After giving thanks, open your eyes and smile. Yes I said smile. Happiness begins within, and radiates outward. Happiness is a positive goal, and how you go about achieving it is what gives you purpose. Life without purpose is a meandering meaningless journey. You want your life to have meaning don't you?
Get up out of bed slowly
Do not jump out of bed like you are in a race for your very life. Enjoy the moments of feeling your body coming alive for the day. Feel the languor of sleep dissipating. Stretch your body towards the ceiling, and allow your body to breathe in for a few seconds, then exhale for a few seconds. Wake your brain up gently like a lover worshiping your flesh.
Make your bed
Yes I realize that you are only going to mess it up later on, but that is not the point. This is you taking responsibility. This is you taking control of your life in small ways.
Relieve and clean
Release accumulated waste, and prepare yourself to wash away the filth from your flesh. Starting your day fresh and clean has a positive impact on your mindset.
Dress with pride
Take pride in presenting an orderly and neat appearance. Sloppy, and sloven does not suit you anymore. Neat has nothing to do with designer labels. Clean and pressed is what you are aiming for. I understand that some days you simply do not care how you appear to the public, and that is all fine and well for when you are staying in, or going to the gym, but looking well put together boosts confidence, and confidence promotes inner happiness. You want to be happy yes?
Eat
Feed your flesh. Eating breakfast makes your body happy. Note that I did not say gorge yourself. Overeating in the morning makes your day begin miserably, so moderate your intake, and try your very best to drink some water :)
Open your door
Smile, and get on your way
