Time to relieve some stress!

on Sunday, November 2, 2008

So this has been one of the most difficult, stressful, and busy terms I have had yet. I have been working at the magazine on Monday and Wednesday mornings(and many other free days), going to school on Tuesdays and Thursdays, working til 9 and 10 on Mondays Tuesdays and Wednesdays, trying to get homework done and still find time to boost our social life.

I have let myself get far too stressed out which has a negative affect on the rest of my life. It is time to do something about it so here is my plan.

Everyday I will:
Find ten minutes to meditate and ten minutes to stretch or do some yoga
Floss
Take ten minutes simply sitting with Jason and talking about our days
Write three journal pages
Eating at least three meals

Every week I will:
Take one long walk
Snap some photos
Read something for pleasure
Do one exercise routine
Blog
Go on a date with Jason
Have a beer with friends for an evening

I am already beginning to feel better and realizing that everything cannot go perfectly all the time.
I must learn to not hold my friends to such high standards and to reach out to friends I haven't seen in awhile.
I have to begin appreciating myself and embracing all the things that make me me!

Three things I did well today:
Meditate
Cleaned my apartment
Relaxed

Three important things I will do tomorrow:
Study for my midterm
Try harder at work
Make the magazine proud!
