Hi there reader! How are you? Hope you are relaxt, reading this. Okay, let’s dive in. What’s happening in my life at the moment? I’m trying to work on school and keeping up with friends and family. I’m not exercising as much as I want to and I’m not sure how I exactly want to exercise. Since it is nice weather, I am going on walks. I am also discovering the move button on the app ‘Headspace’. I’m considering yoga/pilates.
I’m also fighting a cold that comes with headaches. Hopefully, this Monday the cold will be better. Then it’s been bugging me for a week. I am experiencing a lot of thoughts. I have a lot of pressure to finish portfolios. Plus, I am dancing salsa and meeting people. Men are interested and I’m scared. I don’t really see it as a new opportunity rather someone mixing up how I’m feeling… We’ll see.
I discovered that I’m really used to sleeping with earplugs or sleeping at my own place and not at a friend’s place. Plus, that maybe sometimes I do need time for myself just to process things.
I’m feeling a little down. Wondering how I can you know uhm relax more. I guess it’s being appreciative. I’ll write three things down that I’m grateful about today:
- 1. Getting groceries and cooking and eating strawberries
- 2. I’m grateful that I got to sleep enough
- 3. I’m grateful that I read a little bit and listened to an interview with the writers of a book about dopamine which gave me more insight on who I am and how my brain works.
- If you are wondering what my insights are, I think I’m more progressive and focusing on what’s next and that’s probably why doing mindfulness every day is so good for me, since it focuses on the here and now.
- I hope you are doing well. Until next time! X
