It has been a couple of months since my last post and what a couple of months it has been.
I started uni (which I’m loving), working casually at my old job (until I have trained up the new team) and have been travelling a couple of ours a day (to uni and work). I was doing really well, keeping up my fitness program and then I started to become overwhelmed. I was running out of hours, putting so much pressure on myself to get through certain things within a certain time. Over easter I had mid semester break which I had planned to catch up on my study notes. But instead I didn’t do a thing.
And it was fantastic.
I feel revived, and ready to focus again. Ok I probably am a bit behind in my study notes and that may come around and bite me during exam time but I will work that out then. Besides I still have 5 weekish to catch up – whats a couple of days. There was no point forcing myself to do all of this study if it wasn’t going to sink in. I needed that break and to stop putting so much pressure on myself so I could actually relax and enjoy myself. I caught up on sleep and I feel as though it helped me get a bit more energy back to fight this virus that I have been the host to for the last couple of months.
Underlying message is, remember your only human and you need to listen to your body. Give yourself permission each day to do something that you love.
And don’t stress on the small stuff. Relax, breathe and remember to smile, because it will all turn out ok in the end.
What is your favourite thing to do you do when your feeling stressed?
