And just like that it's already Monday again. I'm feeling much better now... just a little snotty but honestly my brain still feels less than 100%. This little sickness has set me back a bit in my studies and other obligations which had me feeling quite anxious and stressed yesterday. I was in a pessimistic frame of mind, assuming there was simply too much for me to do with too little time. I wanted to run away and hide from my responsibilities but luckily I didn't. Through taking small actions (like I talked about a couple posts ago) I was able to build up some momentum and chip away at my to-do list. In times like these, the unfortunate reality is the problems won't go away and the work has to be done one way or the other so you might as well just start addressing it. That's easier said than done, though. Especially when we have social media, YouTube, TV, a slightly disorganized room, and plenty of other things to comfort us in the moment. I think the key to avoiding procrastination and doing the work when it feels impossible is trusting in consistency. For example, even if you only manage to study for 10 minutes a day, that's over an hour of studying by the end of the week. And you're liable to push past 10 minutes at least a few times just by pure accident if nothing else. So, with this new week comes new opportunities to create little consistent behaviors that add up to significant results. Time to walk my talk.
Hasta mañana!
