When you are balancing classes, homework, extracurriculars, and a full/part time job, it can be hard to find the necessary time to look after yourself. The important thing is to make good use of the small chances you get during the day! I’ve broken it up into time chunks, to make it easier.
Brush your teeth/hair etc
Wash your face, or splash cold water on it
Drink a glass of water
Stretch! (especially if you've been sitting down for awhile)
Take the stairs!
Jumping jacks/squats (I do them all the time behind the counter at work!)
Take a break and eat a piece of fruit
Walk instead of bussing
Reapply sunscreen if needed
Take a power nap if you need one
Do a short meditation
Find a short yoga routine on youtube
Go for a quick run
Take a longer nap
Write in a journal/ Notebook if that's your thing
Workout
Do a full yoga routine
Run/walk around your block a few times
Take the time to prepare a special, healthy snack for yourself!
Workout weights or cardio
Tidy your room/ office space
Catch up on other duties (to relieve stress)
Prepare a meal and make enough for a lunch the next day
As its summer in half of the world, I’d like to remind my friends in the northern hemisphere that health in the heat means drinking cold liquids to stay hydrated, wearing sunscreen to prevent burns and skin damage, and spending time in the shade throughout the day!
Take Care of Yourselves!
The life of an adolescent has hit me, I literally am stressed out. I turned 15 this year and it already sucks I cannot longer get anything for half its’ price. Finished my cringe-worthy middle school era and passed entrance exams. Starting freshman year feels weird. I always looked up to those upper-class students wishing, I could be just like them, finally being a grown up. Now literally all I want is to stay young forever. It’s crazy how the older you get, life actually starts to hit you in the face.
Skipping classes and running late from before has come to an end in this chapter of my life. I'm officially a high schooler, somehow cool and terrifying thing to say at the same time. So far it's been nice. I met new people, made a couple of dope friends, went into a new environment, adapted to few changes and had let go of my old habits. I'm not expecting freshman year to be easy, but hopefully, I'll pass.
The first week went okay and all. Spent so much money on textbooks, it was very painful to spend money on education, but not food and coffee. Had to finish some administrative stuff, had my first coffee with a friend which seemed like I didn't go to one in god knows how long, got lost multiple times, booked a flight to Paris and well doing wild shit.
The second week went by fast. We went on an adaptation course, basically mostly accurately translated to English. It was our class and all-boys mechanics class. It meant to bond us and get to know each other, the usual when you got a bunch of new kids and you want them to socialize. I met a cute boy, who gifted me acutely patterned wristband from Marocca. Not gonna lie, I do stalk him every now and then If we don't pass the same classroom, so I can sneak peek at him. Overall I'm excited, horrified, but glad I found such a fine bunch of people. Well, let’s see if ya girl gonna survive her first year of high school.
I'll be posting every now and then, spill out my thoughts and worries.</3 Also, I'm new at this, so it's gonna be a process for me write longer entries and I do jump from one thing to another LOL, it's gonna get better, hopefully.
Even if you don’t feel like it, you are worth it. I promise.
Looking from a window above, it’s like a story of love, can you hear me?
you can be gentle and confident.
you can be soft and sharp.
you can study on some evenings and party on others.
you can be badass and a princess.
you can be everything at once.
A woman is unstoppable after she realizes she deserves better.
