Being Me

I'm currently reading The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin. Throughout the book she reminds herself to "Be Gretchen". I'm inspired to start reminding myself to "Be Dee." I don't know about anyone else, but I often try to be who other people want me to be. Instead, I really need to focus on "Being Dee." Who am I? What do I value? What do I want out of life? What would Dee do? What is authentically me? What are the things that I love to do?

So here are some random things that are just part of me "Being Dee":

• Going for walks outside.
• Listening to my favorite music a little too loud.
• Reading books.
• Reading magazines.
• Leaving a pile of my "stuff" within arm's reach.
• Drinking coffee every morning. 
• Loving to chat & email (and starting to like texting), but hating to call. 
• Googling random facts. 
• Having alone time in the morning. 
• Wearing silly t-shirts. 
• Being easily sidetracked. 
• Being organized at work, but disorganized at home. 
• Going dancing.
• People watching. 
• Having a new-found passion for being healthy. 
• Talking too loud, and probably too much. 
• Watching horror movies. 
• Watching TV shows about ghosts and the paranormal. 
• Constantly buying cookbooks. 
• Multi-tasking while watching TV. 
• Cooking for my family. 
• Trying new foods. 
• Traveling to new places. 
• Having a passion for just about everything Disney. 
• Coming up with new recipes. 
• Learning new things. 
• Going to my Weight Watchers meetings on Saturday mornings. 
• Being a little Goth. 
• Dressing nice, completely at random. 
• Not wearing make-up or doing much with my hair on a daily basis. 
• Spending time with my family. 

I know that I could come up with a lot more things. What are some things that are just part of "Being You"?
