The End

So as I go forward with the rest of school and life I will take what I have learned and continue to use it. Things like smile more and just try to make the days better don’t rely on conditions to be good. I think that one day of I have anymore good ideas I might return to blog about them. However for now all I have to say is thank you for reading the better day blog.

Week 5-6

Week 5 is the worst I have had so far. In the moment the week doesn’t seem that bad but when taking an overall look at things it was really bad. Most of the bad week was caused by me as well while I’m looking in hindsight. I did the minimum work on all of my projects to make it through the week. Man that was a bad choice for sure. Regardless the week also was bad because with the relaxing of the mindset once more and all the stress I ended up being either very indifferent in every situation or being angry for no reason and it was not a good place to be in. Week score 2/10

Week 6 I’m going to start this week with a very famous quote. “Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today” Benjamin Franklin. This quote is very famous and many people know it and follow the instructions. However it doesn’t really make sense until it’s to late because during this week because of the work I pushed off I now had almost double to do and the more there was the less desirable it was to work on the assignments. On top of that even when I was out doing fun things like watching a movie it was always in the back of my mind nagging at me. Eventually I finished the entire workload with a couple of sleepless nights. Even throughout it though I was in a better mood than I would have it I wasn’t attempting to stay positive. Week score 3/10

What I learned this time is keeping a good mindset and staying on top of everything really goes a long way to being happier.

Week 3-4

Week 3 was a crap shoot with nothing prompting me to be happy or me making the effort my mood was more easily swayed by the situation and I was in constant flux which wore me out. a couple of days of the week were ok but most were really not great. there was also the influx of the next assignments in all my classes so much of my time was taken. There wasn’t anytime to hang with friends on the the weekends I spent my little remaining free time sleeping. Week score 4/10

Week 4 this week was very brutal and would have scored worse but my optimistic mindset and walking away from some situations helped. However again much of my time was taken but school but I also was procrastinating a little doing the minimum on some of my assignments to make it through the week. I also got into unnecessary fights with friends and family which made the week drop from meh to poor. Week score 4/10

What was learned these 2 weeks I should have bit the bullet and made one of my weeks worse by doing even more homework therefore making my net week work load lower next week. Also some arguments aren’t worth it. My week 4 would have been much better but I got into stupid fights with friends and family.

I would like to end by apologizing the blog posts will be very close together in post time and don’t appear to have much time in between them. However these were made well in advance of the blog and I was being lazy and procrastinating the making of the blog and now you end up with this cluster of posts.

Week 1-2

First I would like to say that ill be covering the six weeks in 3 posts so 2 weeks per post is what I will be covering.

Week 1 started and with out any goal I was just going through the motions there wasn’t anything particularly exciting or bad happening so nothing really changed my mood would change depending on the situation but I didn’t feel any better or worse than I normally do. All in all the week was really average. Week score 6/10.

Week 2 I started the week particularly poorly with a huge wave of homework that when finished brought about more of a sigh of release and exhaustion than happiness. However the week over the course of time slowly got a little better and better till I hit a wall almost. I was trying to be optimistic and happy but after a certain point my days and even the entire week was stagnant it was better than normal but it wasn’t excellent. Week score 7/10

What I have learned this week isn’t much I can’t tell if the 2nd week was better because of my attitude or if it just happened to be better this time around.

Happier Day

Thank you for joining me on my adventure through school and trying to have a better life by making every day a little happier. My goal here is to record my progress on having a better life to do that I decided to record my feelings in a normal day and then compare that to a day where I actively try to be optimistic and keep a good attitude. I will be doing this for about 6 weeks. For the first week I will go through normally and the second I will try to be positive and implement strategies to stay happy like smiling more often or removing myself from potentially upsetting situations.
