My entire adult life I have worked mornings. I have also always worked within 10 miles of my home. This month I am working 50 min away and I have an evening shift. Normal Karen would bitch and moan about the whole process. Happier me says "let it go" and "act the way I want to feel ", 2 of my happiness commandments. Now to figure out how to put this into practice? The first challenge was the commute. I chose to listen to some lighthearted chic lit (Jojo Moyes, The Ship of Brides ) . Listening to someone read outloud is such a joy. I am not thinking about anything other than the drive and the story. The second was the late night. I tried to sleep in. I made it til 7 am. I forced myself to stay in bed. I surfed the phone, I grabbed a cup of coffee, made my bed and got back into it!! current situation: see photo! Happiness Obtained.
