I had a bit of a 'revelation' about my degree last week, and it's been really playing on my mind lately because this revelation is not one of the good revelations. So those negative thoughts, mixed with the general stress of uni with exams coming up, mixed in with my not understanding of most of my subjects and just general negative thoughts about my self has led to a very not happy hippie over the past couple of weeks. Everything has been building and building up in my life lately and it feels like it's all slowly crumbling down around me, but I'm determined to not let that happen!
I had an idea the other day that's going to hopefully help me cope with the stress of things that have been going on lately. I'm going to buy a pretty notepad and everyday start with:
"What have I done today?"
This way I'll be able to see what study I got done, if I went to the gym, and that I generally didn't just waste my day way.
After answering that question I'll write down this question to ask myself:
"What do I want to achieve/do tomorrow?"
This way I'll be able to set goals, hopefully reasonable ones of what I want to achieve throughout the week and then I'll be able to reflect on how successful I was.
I'm really hoping this is going to work as a motivational tool for me so I can stop feeling so lost, confused and stressed about life for a while. I'm so lucky to be able to go to uni, to have a roof over my head and to have people in my life that love me, you'd think that'd be enough motivation but strangely enough when I think about how I do have life so easy, it just makes me feel even worse and guilty because I am feeling so down!
Once I buy my notebook and try this out for a week or two I'll do a blog on how it's all going and whether or not it's working. I can't remember which blog I got this picture from, but here's a happy lion for you.
