I am actually having a hard time understanding what I am reading atm. I don’t know if because it’s past 12 already or because I am reading CVS? Haha 🫀

Read: For When You Feel Overwhelmed

Just a day (more like hours, really) away from starting a new term in university. I’m feeling quite excited for a new chapter as a student, but I can’t help but feel dread as well, with so many thoughts swimming in my head. What if I can’t do it all? What if I fail? What if I overestimated my capabilities and end up disappointing myself and worse, others? UGH! Before my negative thoughts get the best of me, I decided to just pause what I’m doing and put a stop to this negativity in the form of a blog hehe. So here goes a short note/prescription from my lucid self, for when university life becomes overwhelming:

1. DON’T PANIC. I get it, you’re scared, but panicking won’t help you. It wastes time and energy and you know deep in yourself that you are capable. 

2. Take time to enjoy things. Small wins matter, too! 

3. Hydrate! It’s good for your skin, mind, and body. 

4. Stay curious.

5. Be smart with how you spend your time. Practice self-management! Know your priorities.

6. I hope you still find time to read Ü.

7. Exercise can really help with mind block and you know that lol. 

8. Eat healthy! 

9. Rest when you must. It’s quite important because you’re human, not a robot. It doesn’t make you weak when you need to, and you shouldn’t take it against yourself. 

10.  Allow yourself to make mistakes and learn from them. You’re not perfect, so stop expecting yourself to be. What matters is you show up, you give your best, and that you actually learn. PRACTICE MAKES PROGRESS, BABY!
