I need to work on this. I always think that once I graduate I can finally have time for this and whatever. I realized something as I started this semester. It's my senior year, I have been in school for 17 years of my life and lately I have been so busy studying and doing homework that I really forgot what I like to do. Sad but true. I remember what I liked to do in high school and the first year of college but somewhere down the line I lost all of it. It's like I'm a homework junkie, addicted to urgency. This is not how I want to live! Plus, once I graduate, what will I really have? To be honest, I'll probably break down because I have nothing due the next day. I realized that if I want to be happy and content with my life NOW, I have to stop waiting for someday. What did I do? I joined a rec volleyball team with my husband, I got an internship with the Happy Wives Club (which is awesome!), I really tried to reduce my stress by thinking, "Is this going to matter in a month?" I am still way busy with schoolwork but I am happy and content in my life now.
This is my challenge for the week. Stop stressing and stop waiting for someday! If you want to be happy now, take the steps that will get you there. If you feel spread too thin, prioritize and ask yourself, "Will this matter in a month?" and if it won't then don't worry about it. If it is something that wont matter in a month but you still need to get it done, just get it done the best you can without beating yourself up about it.
Doing this will make a HUGE difference in your family life. I cannot emphasize this enough. It will make all the difference. Changing the atmosphere of your home by being positive effects everyone in the family. Why not try this for a week or two? You can only go up when you are positive about your life.
These are my thoughts as the Family Advocate.
