ACHIEVING BALANCE

Anyone is getting pumpkin crazy too? 🎃🎃🎃

1. write down how much you study over time, then write down how you did on the quiz/test. this will help you see the amount of studying is nessecary for you to get a good grade and fully learn the material!!!

2. make your study space smell fresh, preferably of mint. mint helps you focus and stay sharp. other good smells would be lemon, etc.

3. after studying for a long amount of time, go exercise for ~30 min. shower, get dressed, etc then review the info you had just been studying! you should come back fresher, and your brain is able to remember the info even better!

4. don’t always study in comfy/pj clothes. if you study a lot after school or classes, then it’s ok. but if all you plan on doing is studying for that day, for part of the day get dressed up! put on some business casual wear, that’s cute yet functional and do your hair, etc. this will put you in a “get shit done” mode.

5. after studying a unit/chapter, record yourself explaining it, as if to a person whose never heard of it. this helps SO MUCH. one, explaining/teaching helps you learn so much better, and two, you have a little video to review just before the test!!

you DON’T need perfect, beautiful, organized notes

you DON’T have to be constantly posting original content

you DON’T have to have fancy, expensive, brand name stationery, pens, and journals

you DON’T have to have a bullet journal

you DON’T have to study all the time

you DON’T need to have tons of followers

but what you do need is…

to believe in yourself and know that no matter the circumstances, you putting forth the effort to better your life, be more productive, healthier, smarter etc. is more than enough. 

Drinking coffee like water

breathe. you’ve made it so far this year. you’ve gotten through so many things that you thought you wouldn’t, and you’ll continue to get though this, whatever it is. i know you can. i believe in you, and i’m so, so proud of you. i know it probably seems impossible, but it’s going to be ok. it’s going to be ok.
