Hello and welcome back to another blog. Today I am going to discuss the importance of doing things you enjoy and treating yourself. It is so easy to get carried away with the busyness of day to day life and to neglect doing activities you enjoy.
I find that in between school, homework, shifts at work and just general tasks, finding time to unwind can be difficult. However, I believe it is essential to ensuring you have a good balance in your life. It is good to keep on top of your to-do list and make sure you are sticking to deadlines, but if you burn out in the process then it is not worth it. This is because over time you will become less productive, more worn out and not perform to the best of your abilities.
Ways to do things you enjoy whilst prioritising work:
☆ make a to-list to keep organised and on top of your tasks and to include time for work and wellness
☆ schedule in time to socialise, do clubs/hobbies and other things you love
☆ find a routine that works best for you e.g. doing all school work Mon-Fri, then having the weekend to rest and relax
☆ focus on what you have going on in the upcoming week so you don't get too overwhelmed by things you need to complete
☆ if you notice grades going down, allocate more time for revision/studies and if you notice you are not doing things you like enough, then schedule in dates to see friends or family or to do something that makes you happy
Treat yourself- you deserve it!!
After working hard all week and enduring the tiring routine of school or week you definitely deserve a break or a treat. Treating yourself can look different for everyone, but here are some ideas of things you can do to reward yourself after a long week:
☆ watch your favourite show
☆ eat your favourite meal/food
☆ read a book
☆ meet up with friends
☆ get outside
☆ buy yourself something nice
Those are just a few basic ideas, but the idea is do something fun and relaxing to unwind and reset at the end of the week or even in an evening after school.
Thank you for reading my latest blog post, I hope it has been helpful and informational. I hope that May is a happy month for you!
