Two months into a more positive life – and taste testing Diet Coke!

One of my goals for the year was to live a more positive life – as difficult as it sounds. Between my job, blogging, sisters and friends, I rarely find time for myself. Plus, being stretched so thin tends to push me to complain and throw a pity party for myself.
This is something I talk about a lot on the blog, so if you are a frequent reader, you know this is an issue I am always trying to find unique ways to fix.
Over the years, I have realized that the more I take time out of my day to do the things I love, the easier it is to stay positive. It can be something as simple as rolling on the floor with my dogs or drinking a Diet Coke®. I also try to do something new every day to keep me inspired and fueled!
Forcing myself to do something fun and interesting every day has sparked my creativity, made me happier, and it has just made me more aware of what brings me down in my life and what lifts me up.
Recently, Diet Coke released four new spicy flavors – Diet Coke Feisty Cherry, Diet Coke Zesty Blood Orange, Diet Coke Ginger Lime, and Diet Coke Twisted Mango – and I have been testing them out while I am at work as my something new for the day! I found all the flavors conveniently at Walgreens.
I know it sounds silly, but testing out a new flavor at work is something simple I can do that makes me happy! Also, I can change up my daily Diet Coke of the day based on my mood with the new flavors!
If you want to test out the flavors too, be sure to find the right Diet Coke for you mood by clicking here. It is as simple as clicking the link, click on the thumbprint and get a great recommendation just for you.
Plus, you get an offer to buy one Diet Coke 12 oz. sleek can, get 1 free at Walgreens (which means you can try more flavors)!
When I was a kid, I loved mood rings – and that’s what this site reminds me of. After a week of tasting, this is what I came up with for each new Diet Coke flavor!
Diet Coke Feisty Cherry
I go for this flavor when I am feeling a little too hot (quick to anger) – which is every single day. This is also my favorite flavor.
Its got a great punch of cherry, and I think it may be my spirit animal.
Diet Coke Ginger Lime
When I am feeling all put together, the Ginger Lime is m flavor of choice. It is super crisp, and it will knock your socks off.
Diet Coke Twisted Mango
Some days I don’t have to try hard to be positive because everything goes super smooth – and on those days I reach for the Twisted Mango.
It is super smooth, and I still get that classic Diet Coke taste with some tropical tang! The taste is unpredictable but really fun!
Diet Coke Zesty Blood Orange
The best way to describe the Zesty Blood Orange Diet Coke is it is a Friday. This drink encompasses the Friday Feeling. It is like a launchpad to get to the part of the day that you have been waiting for – leaving for the weekend.
Aside from the new flavors, the new design is super compact and fits in my fridge so much easier. Plus, when I want to feel classic, I can always count on the same Diet Coke flavor in a new can!
This was a really fun side project to do after work – and it cost less than $10. Plus, everyone at work was super interested in the new flavors, so it lightened the mood just a tad bit (which is so important when you work in news).
It has only been two months this year, but the constant push to find things in my life that make me happy has really given me an entirely new outlook. Taste testing Diet Coke for a week, buying a new plant and naming it Chester, going on a day trip, buying a new kind of chapstick – these are all things that make me smile more.
Sometimes it’s the little things that make my day, and sometimes its a grand gesture. No matter what though, I have learned it is up to me to see the world in the brighter light.
How do you stay positive?
