A Morning Reflection

I've come to realize that there's something rather cathartic about taking care of yourself. 
Anyone who knows me will tell you that I'm not very good at that. I can't stay on track of an exercise plan. I can't seem to keep myself from eating just plain too much or just really bad foods. (My dearest Moose Tracks Ice Cream, you must know this relationship is killing me...) I can't stop listening to music under my headphones and I can't seem to just get my ass to bed at a reasonable hour. 

I daydream about changing myself more then I actually do something to change myself. I'm not sure I have such a hard time with it. Maybe I just like justifying ordering that second cup of coffee in the morning. But seriously, I've been doing my makeup since I was about thirteen and it's taken me eight years to finally convince myself it really is that important to take it off at night. Pathetic, isn't it? I always wonder if I'm the only one. Is it laziness? My id just far outpowering my ego and superego? Or did it turn the ego to the dark side too and now the superego is just left shrugging its shoulders at me...
In any case, and despite my own realization, I've come to find that the little things I pick up that I know are good for me will make me feel better. Apparently I just need to take super small baby steps in life. But taking them is the important part, right?
But I suppose the point of all of this is to say one thing: it's better to do as I say and not as I do.  I seem to know what's good for me or what to do, but I can't seem to convince myself to actually do it. So in any case. This is just my sitting around in the morning trying to shake my brain awake and sweep out all the dust and cotton that built up through the night. I haven't had my coffee yet. 
But that brings me to a quick point in terms of health. As I've said, there are little things I try to do that help, and we all know how important water is to your body. I've read countless times throughout my life that starting your day with a glass of water does wonders, not only for the inside of your body, but also the outside. So before you consume anything, have a glass of water. (This is why I still haven't had my coffee, I'm only halfway through my morning H2O.)  Now, something I still can't get ingrained in myself is that it's apparently also a good idea to drink a full glass of water right before eating any meal. So, since I assume 90% of people have a much better drive than I do, it's a good tip to follow, and one of those "can't hurt" types too.
Anyway, I had planned to do a fireworks themed eye shadow to kick off the blog, but I ended up having to work today, and since my job makes me sweat insanely and wipe my face a lot, I don't bother with makeup. But, I do have Friday off, so look out for a shadow demo then. :)
Happy Fourth everyone! Stay safe!
