Hey Munchkins!
It has been officially a month since my last blog post and I am really truly sorry. With heaps of University assignments and exam block on the way, things have been a little hectic. Finally, I have managed to find time and have a lazy day.
My day consisted of Facebook. Youtube and blogging, things which I have been using to procrastinate my assignments. For once I didn't feel guilty that I should be doing my assignments or studying for my exams and I could actually enjoy the things which I like to do. When your in a stressful situation, you kinda forget what its like to relax. It wasn't until I walked out of the house with my joggers on that I remembered, how peaceful the world was. The quiet serenity, the relaxing atmosphere and the beautiful rays of sunshine, natures gifts taken for granted. How could I keep myself locked away when there is a wonderful world to discover. Since when did the world become so wrapped up with work and money that we became oblivious to the beauty around us?
Pressure. That's my answer. The pressure of earning a decent income, the pressure to achieve good grades, the pressure to be perfect. I can't honestly remember a time where I wasn't pressured into doing something. Whether it was peer-pressure or my sub-conscious constantly nagging, that unwanted presence had still been there. With this pressure, you begin to forget how fast time goes. I literally woke-up this morning and freaked out when I realized that 2015 is only 2.5 months away. 2014 had gone past so quickly that I have barely had time to reflect upon it. I had barely taken anytime to think about myself.
Today's different. Today I make a change. Although I am still going to pressure myself to achieve decent grades and doing various other things, I am going to make the time for myself. Despite knowing that my spare time is limited, I am going to start finding time slots to give myself this free time. I am going to put myself first. All this recent stress has taken its toll especially for my mental well-being. Once, everyday, I am going to put on my jogging shoes and walk out the front door. I'm going to listen to the birds chirp and watch the sun set under a giant eucalyptus tree. After all, when was the last time you had given time to yourself?
