Ordinarily I can handle stress really well, but recently I've found myself feeling a bit lost. I wonder if maybe I've taken on too much or if I'm looking too much in to things. I'm the kind of person that needs to keep themselves occupied and so I enjoy doing a lot of activities outside of the normal nine-to-five 5 day week, but at the same time I struggle to relax, breathe and most importantly do nothing without my brain planning what it is I should be doing, have to do or will be doing.
As I am growing older, my priorities are changing. Pushing myself out of my comfort zone to go and do bigger and better things for confidence is something I feel I have gotten better at, so that no longer feels like as much of a worry. However, finding the time or more so, forcing myself to make the time to sit down and clear my head should be a huge priority, if not for anything else then for my mental wellbeing.
I'm edging closer and closer to leaving home for Univerisity and at the time I filled out the application it just seemed like an eveyday thing that had no overall effect, but I am now realising how life changing the experience is going to be. Leaving home makes the experience ten times as scary as I know that I am going to have support myself mentally, physically and in some aspects, financially. Having a strong relationship with my Mum is going to make the experience difficult because I know that I am going to have face things on my own without always asking for her advice or expecting guidance. I guess the priority here would be to ensure I think with my own two feet ALWAYS and not just SOMETIMES.
It has occurred to me recently that maybe I have been swept up in the cycle of education and that in the midst of the storm, my hobbies and interests have been thrown at me as a way of knocking sense in to me that it is ok to have other priorities. Then I take a step back to think and remind myself that Univeristy is what I want and that it is going to help me to go on and pursue the career I want in the near future.
Finding the time to align my mindset, stay calm and keep positive is a challenge that I know I need to take on.
