positivity IS cool!!! (Sorry i didn’t see this earlier!) xx

1. I like that i’m a bubbly person and i get excited easily, despite other’s making fun of me for it 

2. I like my music taste, i feel like it covers a lot

3. I like that i stand up for what is right and don’t sit back 

4. I like my work ethic, I set goals and work towards them 

5. I like that i’m a unique looking person, that i have curls and freckles and my eyes change colour depending on my emotions and that my skin is very pale. It’s who I am, and some don’t like that- but i’ll just keep being me! 

I find that when the biggest thing is to listen to your body. If you’re starting to get tired, or your mind is starting to go off topic- go and do something else! It’s great to be productive, but there are times that we don’t feel up to it. 

We learnt at a study workshop the other day, that you should focus on tasks rather than time. Meaning that you might sit down and complete one page of questions, and make a summary for one topic, then have a break.

It causes you to be more productive, without wasting time saying something like “I’m going to sit down and do an hour of math” and then find after 20 minutes- you’ve done your work and now you’re wasting time forcing yourself to be productive. 

In saying that, I like to set a time that I will not do any more work. This may sound a little confusing with the next part but….

I find the best way to keep a balance of work and relaxing, is to have a ‘reward’ for each task. Three hard task might mean two episodes of a TV show or a movie. But don’t do the rewards during studying. Every time you complete a task, write down the reward on a sheet of paper, and throughout the week- at different times of the day, complete these tasks. 

It sounds a little confusing, but it means that you get to do fun things that aren’t work. And by setting a time to stop for each day (make sure to change it up each day too. So it might be 6pm one day and 3pm the next!) it helps you stop burnout!

Hopefully this helps a bit xx
