Thoughts from the hippie

Ahhh so what to say about my past week of regaining motivation and focus.... I think I’m pretty happy with how this week has gone even though I didn’t get everything I wanted to get done finished. I did finish most of my notes for uni, but I didn’t start on my major assignment, I did practice Spanish but not nearly enough that I should have, I went rock climbing, running, went to the markets for my veges and walked probably around 90% of the times that I could when I needed to to the city/middle of west end instead of catching the bus.

I find it strange how different running has made me feel compared to working out in the gym. When I was living in Lutwyche I still worked out but it was just in the gym, now living in West End I no longer go to the gym but I run at least four times a week for around an hour. I think it has something to do with just being outside and the fact that I do just love running, but I think running outside has made me less stressed and much more easy going than what I was before. I think at the gym I felt like I was working out to do something superficial for myself (as well as just being healthy in general) but running makes me feel like I do this because I love it, and it just makes me feel more wholesome and healthy than I did before when I was living in Lutwyche.

Buying my veges from the markets has definitely changed me, I’ve eaten more types of veges than I would have normally this week, it’s so much more cheaper buying my food this way and it just feels nice to know where your food has come from, and everyone is always so nice at the markets as well. 

I also finished reading “Start Something that Matters” by the creator of TOMS shoes, Blake Mycoskie. I strongly recommend everyone to read this book, it’s an easy read and incredibly inspiring and uplifting.

I am hoping that next week I do get as much uni done as I can, I just need to suck it up, deal with it and get stuff done. Although I’m happy where things are now, I know if I leave some things for another couple of weeks I’ll start to go out of my mind with stress. So all in all I think I have successfully regained my motivation and focus, I think I just need to try harder next week, no worries.
