Violet Rays

Sorry readers the past week has been a little busy and completely out of focus. I've been in an unfavorable mood and I don't know why. Bare with me please. I have about 3 blog post topics that I really want to share, but for now answer one (or all) these questions.

Which of the pictures I have posted is your favorite and why?

Who do you look up to and why?

What would you like to see me write more about?

Love,
Leira Violet

First of all, HAPPY EASTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope you all are having a lovely day.





Now it's about time to showcase more artwork I've found on the internet. I try to do it about once a week. My goal was every friday, but I think I'm going to move it to every sunday. Also my friend (Amanda) made an awesome blog post that I think every girl should read.




Time for eye candy

Note: None of these photographs are originals. They were all found on flickr and like an idiot I didn't save many of the artist's names. The last three are done by fredico bebber.

Here are some suggestions for if you're having a bad day or just wishing to have a good one (everyday of your life). These tips are not in chronological order. So, you don't have to start the morning with the first tip and have to end the day with the last, pick and choose as you please.



Be Grateful

Find Something to be grateful for. It can be anything. I swear. Seriously, one morning I was grateful for Josh Groban. I've been waking up to his music for the past couple of months and I absolutely love the sound of his voice.



Get Movin'

No you don't have to go to the gym at the crack of down and workout like warrior. You can just dance like nobody is watching. The thing is to get your heart pumping and have fun. Exercise alone releases endorphins which is basically the happy button in the body. Also, how can you not feel good while smiling?

Eat Decently

You can't feel awesome, if you eat crap. End of story.

Be Pollyanna

Okay, don't go as far as pollyanna, but do try to stay optimistic. A good majority of the time there is a good side to the situation, so focus on that.

Be silly

Remember how you felt when you were with some friends and acted goofy just for the heck of it? Most likely, you were on cloud 9. For extra kicks, take pictures. There some pictures of me floating on the web that are not so flattering, but I love them because of the memories they bring back.

Stress Less

Is what you're worrying about going to matter in 10 years from now? How about 5 or 1 year from now? No? If not, stop stressing! Yes, get needs to be done over with, but don't grow gray hair over the matter. It only ages you.

Let it out

If something is seriously bothering you, let it out. Find a friend that you trust, grab a journal, or do whatever you feel is appropiate and just let it out. Holding on to frustration effects only you (and for the worse). Once again, it ages you.

Love,

Happy St. Patty's Day to all!!!!

If you couldn't tell by my lack of update or even mentioning of my past goals that I completely failed, I'm telling you straightforwardly right now. I failed. All the goals. Everything. Every plan I planned. Gone.


So here I am. starting over.

There is one crucial step that I left out. You must keep the goals visible. They must be present in a place/way that you would see them everyday. It worked the very first time that I tried it when it was brightly placed on my desk. Now the resolutions are taped conveniently against my dresser where it could be the first thing I see when I wake up and the last when I fall asleep. Yes, granted that it's dark at that time, but I'm always sitting on my bed while my desk in the left corner collects dust.


Weekly Resolutions:

Rawness
Now that it's spring break I can focused on being and staying raw. I need to work on being raw first because that is tricky just on its own.

Do the 'blech' stuff
i.e. homework, scholarships, essay, job hunting, etc. I'm going to actually lists these out later on tonite so I can check them off.

Promote Blog
I really need to get this thing up and running. It's been, what, 2 months?

Blog majority of the week.
I have material and stuff I want to write about. I just haven't written it yet. So look out for new material this week

Love,
Leira Violet

P.S.
SPRING BREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's a challenge.



Whenever you see someone with nice shoes, pretty eyes, good haircut, etc tell them (boy or girl).



Why?

Who doesn't like getting compliments? We here it so often about how people have low self-esteem and how self-conscious people are about this and that. Why not try to make things better by throwing a compliment here and there?



You know how a compliment can turn an otherwise bad day into a good one.



I'm going to do it. I'm going to give out at least one compliment a day. Hey, you never know what might happen. It's possible that it can do as much good to you as to the person you're complimenting.



Love,

Leira Violet
