Hello! I'm not sure how many people are really keeping track of my journey, but I will say that I was super busy yesterday trying to catch up from my past lack of diligence. However, it was good. I got home from yesterday and started working on my textbook reading and video lectures. I did get distracted because as anyone who is following me in this journey know: old habits die hard. Regardless, I finished last night having completed everything I needed to get my discussion posts done today.
Moving on to today, I woke up with some spare time before work, so I complete half of my discussion post assignment before getting ready and leaving the house. After coming home from work, I helped my sister with some errands. Then, I finished my discussion post assignment.
After this I fell into my old habits and got distracted from work. I am trying to be very upfront with my setbacks in this challenge, so those of you reading can possibly look into yourselves and know its ok. There is so much pressure for us to have things figured out and make something of ourselves that I think we fail to also recognize that we are also human. We make mistakes and need time to rest and recooperate. I have been looking into the statistics recently, and the rates of adult depression and anxiety have been concerningly increasing in recent years. A large factor of this is stress in the United States. Same for trends in drug use; there has been an increase in drug use because of the attitude towards drugs but also the stress.
That being said, I got a lot of stuff done today regardless of if I did slip up and didn't accomplish much in the latter half of the day. But, most importantly, I want whoever is reading this to know, you're doing great. Never give up trying, and please don't forget the importance of taking care of yourself. Sleep. Eat. Socialize. Relax.
