Hi everyone! I hope everyone enjoyed the past week of snow. Everything looks absolutely gorgeous when its covered in fresh powdery snow! Hopefully the day off from school helped you all de-stress from the pre-reading break midterm rush!
This week I wanted to focus on relaxation and decreasing the stress we put on ourselves everyday. I feel that sometimes this may go unnoticed, but I find myself constantly worrying about whether I am performing good enough and setting the bar extremely high for myself. It is absolutely wonderful to set goals and achieve them, however, make sure you allow yourself to acknowledge any bumps and hurdles along the way! This learning curve is what it going to help you the most in the future. So while right now any minor setback or subpar performance may seem catastrophic, do not worry, take the extra deep breath, and set a positive intention for the next time.
I hope that during the reading week you do at least one activity that allows you to be rid of the stressors that often take a toll during the academic year!
