Improve Your Life

Ten Ways To Improve Your Life

By:
Dinosaurs and Pixie Dust

1. Be enthusiastic about something!

2. Watching a movie? DRESS UP.

(Disney Pixar theme pictured) 

3. Always say "I'm with the band." 

Funny story. These ladies were characters in Disney on Mainstreet and they were talking to me and some band kids about how excited they were to see the marching band that day and even though we told them fifty times that we're with the band, they just kept dancing around us. 

I love Disney. 

Here we are...with the band...although we're a huge blur of PANTHER PRIDE!

4. Dance

(pictured are some of my various dance moves) 

5. Have a schtick 

(Dinosaurs is mine!)

6. Don't be afraid to be nonsensical

(real word!)

7. Try looking through a new perspective

8. Make someone else smile

Ordered these burritos/burrito bowls from Chipotle.

Each one had an Avenger on it!

(I had Loki. Because he's the best.)

Went outside to do a photo shoot and some kids across the street got really excited to see a fairy! 

9. Have an opinion

ORIGINAL= BETTER

10. BE FEARLESS

But hey,

these are only some suggestions. 

It's your life.

We Are All Jim Carrey

Jim Carrey is one of my most favorite actors of all time.

We all are a little bit "Jim Carrey" on the inside.
Don't believe me?

Well...
my reasons follow...

Who hasn't thought about reeking havoc for no apparent reason? 

We've all danced like this at some point.

You know you've rocked some musical instrument. 

Sort of.

We all enjoy making ironic decisions. 

(The cops told him to "Freeze")

When we leave the house for a party and say to ourselves...

We have our catchphrases 

We slightly exaggerate our facial expressions.

No More Swaggering Peacocks

As you should all know...

Cinderella 

...is my favorite princess! 

She is the most common favorite princess people tend to have. 

I am not going to give you a list of reasons as to why everyone should love her because I have no interest in changing anyone's mind. 

But I will show you this:

Because it is beautiful. 

_________________________________________________________________________________

The second most common favorite princess is Belle.

With good reason she really rocks out but this is my blog so instead I'll show you my second favorite Disney Princess!

PRINCESS JASMINE 

Why? I mean she isn't even the main character in her movie. 

Psh. Whatevs. 

THIS IS WHY.

1. Who doesn't love her hair?

2. She's a cat person!

3. She questions authority.

4. She believes in true love and puts herself before ancient traditions.

5. She couldn't care less about flashy, overdressed, fake people. 

BONUS!

JASMINE QUOTE: 

(upon meeting "Prince Ali" who points out first that she's beautiful and that she's rich.)

"Right, a prince like you. And every other stuffed shirt swaggering peacock I've ever met!"

-Just think about that insult for a second-

6. She has an epic "Happy Face"

7. While I don't support this scene or this style of persuasion...

you cannot deny she was quick to catch on and wonderfully devious.

8. She has no problem showing what she's thinking.

9. She wants to help Agrabah and to be so much more than a pretty face.

She goes so far as dawning a disguise and running away just to taste freedom and find out about her people.  

and...

10. THIS.

So basically Jasmine is one tough cookie. 

She is also the only princesses to have a successful TV series.

But

hey

don't

forget

Cinderella

Into the Mind

This is sort of a more serious post.
But then again, I like to keep things interesting.

I believe 

THE BRAIN 

is the most fascinating part of the body. 

Even more so, I love the fact that we do not even fully comprehend how it works. Yet. 

Because we cannot fully understand how the brain works, I think that is why the mind scares us. 

I've read the book DIVERGENT about nine times now and there is a message from the story that can be thought as "Thinking the same is the only way to prevent chaos"

If one person questions authority...

If one person rejects a rule...

If one person apposes a law...

DISORDER WILL PREVAIL

I cannot fully disagree with this. 

See, I believe (my opinion) that if one individual starts thinking differently from everyone else, and then decides to act on it, a difference in life will surely occur. Whether that be a good or bad difference, that depends. How much of a difference also depends. 

If there is a break in the constant and regulated thought process that could be called an "Irregularity."

Which is another word for "disorder."

_________________________________________________________________________________

Do I think that we must all think the exact same way to be productive? 

Quite the opposite.

_________________________________________________________________________________

I hope that all made sense. 

Moving on-

Another reason we fear the mind elaborates on the fact we do not understand it completely.

Chew on this: Everyone has, or has had a mental disorder.

Now before you start freaking out and running to the hospital let me elaborate:

STRESS is a mental disorder.

SLEEP DEPRIVATION is a mental disorder.

ANXIETY is a mental disorder.

And so forth.

One in every three persons has a mental disorder at all times.

True there are ways to help treat mental disorders but cures will forever be unlikely. 

Especially if the world continues to outcast those with mental disorders.

Take a second to think about this. 

_________________________________________________________________________________

I have no problem admitted that I suffer from anxiety.

I want you to understand that the word "suffer" does not always mean what you think it means. 

Suffer: to undergo or feel pain or distress

also

Suffer: to experience the process of change

also

Suffer: to tolerate or allow

Do with that what you will.


_________________________________________________________________________________

Incase you were reading this post or decide to start researching symptoms of mental illnesses and you are now spazzing out because you think there's something wrong with you...

This is what happened:

And then read this:

^The cat above is showing characteristics of Insanity.

Repeating the same actions and expecting a different outcome.

Should we shun the cat? Is there something wrong with the cat?

No.

The cat is still just a cat.

_________________________________________________________________________________

Just like you are still you.

You are beautiful and perfect in your own way. 

Don't let anyone tell you that you are flawed. 

Everyone is different.

You are unique.

And

Someone loves you.

Rock on.
