today I was so discouraged to get any work done because of the overwhelming amount of studying I have to do this weekend for two midterms this upcoming week. just the idea of having to study for these exams left me feeling hopeless. sometimes your body/mind tells you that you cannot push yourself any further.

after scribbling into my planner and shuffling notes around, I decided to take a walk into the city and grab some pizza for dinner. when I came back, I was in a better mental space to make some real progress. after stepping back, taking a breath, and setting some broad goals, I was able to take things one baby step at a time. and baby steps really do go a long way.

read that novel you’ve always wanted to start reading

watch a movie, and i don’t mean watch a movie on netflix, actually go to the cinema on your own. thank me later

start a blog

take a walk

browse bookstores, even if you’re not going to buy anything (if you’ll be able to resist the temptation of buying a book). just surround yourself with literature

brew yourself some tea or coffee, whichever you prefer

listen to classical music and absorb it, don’t do anything else, just sit there and listen to it

pick up a magazine, ditch online magazines for a while, go for the print

go to a museum

explore cooking or baking

watch the sunset
