Looking Forward

About this time last year I wrote a post about finding the things that make you happy and today I wanted to make a short post about finding something to look forward to. Similarly to finding your happy things finding something to look forward to can help keep you focused on being happy when things are tough.
When I get down I usually feel like things are never going to go up again and it can make it really hard not to spiral even further downwards. Something I've started doing recently is making lists of things I have to look forward to so that even when things are bad I know they will get better because of said things to look forward to.
I thought I'd share the list I have currently. I keep mine on the wall beside my bed because that's where I usually curl up when I feel sad but you can of course keep yours wherever you want; maybe even take it out with you to keep you happy during the day. I encourage you to all make your own, even if you're currently in a very positive place; you never know when things may get to you and you may need the list to keep you focused on being happy.

My List

> The return of all of my tv programs - You may remember back to the last post when I said it helped having something I was excited about watching when I was having a bad day

> Summer is arriving!!!!

> Halloween - It's super soon and even though I'll be working that night I'm still excited!

> Christmas - Further away still, the most wonderful time of the year! Even if it doesn't snow.

> The end of exams! Still close to a month to go but time seems to be flying at the moment!
> I'm in a play over summer and rehearsals just starting and I'm very excited for the whole process to get underway!

So these are just a few of the things coming up that I'm excited for. 

Let me know what you're excited for
