Since then I've still had moments of feeling anxious or not feeling hungry or feeling guilty for eating certain foods, but I'm not letting that get in my way. Recently I heard the song Happy by Pharrell for the first time and it really put a spark in my mood. I've watched some of the hour length videos and took in everyone's uniqueness, how they expressed themselves by what they were wearing, the props they used and the movement of their bodies. It's amazing what a smile can do for your image! I want to start dancing randomly in public places because...why not?
A good friend pointed me into the direction of the song Brave by Sara B. I love the video and watching each dancer do their thang. It just makes me smile how open they were to the experience and just danced like no one was watching.
Seeing the confidence of all these people just makes me want to be brave and happy and hopefully infect those closest around me with this amazing energy.
I'll now quote Max Bialystock:
There's more to you than there is to you.
Yes, I'm aware Max was full of BS when he said this to Leo Bloom, but really, there is more to all of us than we even realize.
I don't have any more time for fear and sadness! Let's hit the ground running! Let's make people smile and laugh. Let's do strange things in public. Let's write music and plays and books. Let's dance and sing to our heart's content. Let's unleash the more. I dare you!

ReplyDeleteI will always try to be myself even if it rubs someone the wrong way because being myself keeps me in a good mood. I am glad you are seeing that being who you are is being in a good state of mind.
