do the stuff i enjoy. dont do the stuff i dont.

Don’t do the things that you shouldn’t do
Just do the things that you should do
That’s hard to do when you feel blue,
But you feel blue
Because you do what you shouldn’t do
Just do what you should do
And you should feel good

Things I do not enjoy:

-Staying out later than I intended
-Spending time with someone to appease them
-Doing someone a favor when I do not have the time
-Wasting my time on superficial conversations
-Seeing a movie that I know that I won’t like
-Passing up good opportunities
-Participating in something that I know will cause me to be stressed

Things I enjoy and like to do:

-Running outside
-Reading a good book
-Watching a new movie
-Playing a video game
-Keeping my room clean
-Keeping on touch with people
-Trying new recipes
-Travel to new places

I have been trying to incorporate the following question into my decision making process: “Do I want this?”

Instead of, “what will make this person happy?” or “what is expected of me?” Because I’m slowly realizing that doing things I don’t want, is really tiring.
