This is my first step in creating a super duper happy life: consistent daily actions, the structure. For me, it is important to remain observant of reactions to this structure. I tend toward rebellion and disregard in the one extreme and strict austerity in the other. My middle ground is consistent but flexible and forgiving. I have a few tricks for navigating the extremes which include the idea that I am creating magic with my actions and my attitude. Taking three deep breaths before any action always benefits. Though I have it neatly organized here, I’m in the habit of writing this down and crossing it off as it is not completely automated (as of Oct 10, 2018). This structure has been years in the making.
