This year seems to be starting off well. I entered 2017 with a bang making and publishing my first blog. Tomorrow is the day I dread, the first day going back to school after break. The first day of school in the new year is always the worst because it is the day a lot of realization comes in to play. Realizing the first semester is practically over and only having two more weeks left of Quarter two. As if time is my only enemy, stress seems to be another major one.
Am I the only one that seems to be under a lot of stress as far as ending this school year with a "well done"? Is seems that since junior year started a lot of pressure has been added on me to get grades that represent me and that a university would like to see. And, let us also not forget that stress that comes with finding colleges you would like to apply for.
With all this going on how could an individual not be stressed? It does not seem possible to not be stressed. The key is not to eliminate stress but not to let it define you. Because, whether we like it or not we need obstacles like stress in our lives. These obstacles tell us what we are like if and when things get tough, will you quit or will you push through? I don't know about you but when I am faced with opposition I would hope to be capable enough to push through. 2016 was a year of self-realization for me I realized what I can take and what I can not take. I learned the ways my body will tell me when enough is enough or I need to take a step back and relax. When you learn those signals you should not use the signals as a escape route to not try your best but, as a way of measuring if you are overdoing it.
When you get these signals don't feel unaccomplished or frustrated, be proud of yourself to using your full potential to complete a task that you knew had to be done. Taking a step back does not have to mean give up it can simply mean taking a walk around the neighborhood, writing your, thoughts out, having a dance break, or anything you most feel free in. In fact, this blog for me is one of my methods for taking a step back ; writing out my thoughts and giving people chances to read them and learn from my experiences is when I feel most free.
2017 will be my year because I will accomplish everything I know I can but, I am also going to listen to my body when it's trying to tell me enough is enough. 2017 can be your year too if you choose for it to be.
