Don't stress






DON'T STRESS







I feel like we (yes I'm included) needed a reminder not to stress. It's so easy to feel under pressure or threatened with things that go on in our lives but we really need to do our best to stress as little as possible. 

I don't know anyone who stress is good for. Likely due to the fact that it's not good for anyone. 

Now I know that there are many people who excel when under pressure, but stress and pressure is not the same thing. 

So here are a couple things which can help anyone deal with stress:
- Exercise 
- Challenge negative thoughts 
- Plan big days & split up tasks 
- Tell someone about it

I want everyone to know that if you are feeling stressed, you will eventually get through it.
There's nothing wrong with looking in the mirror and affirming to yourself that 'Even though I am stressed right now, I will get through this'. This definitely works for me because I know that if I exercise, stay positive and talk to people about the issue, I will start to feel better. Sometimes I will even realise whatever it is stressing isn't even that big of a problem. 

Including the things stated above, here's some other healthy things which I know will help me:
- Going for walks
- Listening to my favourite music 
- Writing out my problems 
- Meditating 
- Playing Basketball

Now don't be deceived, I definitely have unhealthy things which will make me happy, like 6 packets of double stuffing Oreo's (trust me I've done it  before) but we all know why thats not a good idea. 

Obviously it depends on the situation but in general the best thing I would recommend is to talk to someone about it. When you talk to people about what your going through, it relieves a bit of the weight from your shoulders and they will now be able to help you as much as they can. 
People can't help us if they don't know whats wrong with us. 

Additionally you are always free to seek professional help at your local GP. If you are a university student then there is a chance your school has a Mental health adviser which you can speak to. 

Knowing ourselves is important because if we know ourselves then we can de-stress using which ever method works the best for us.

Being Independent in University and life

Being Independent in University and Life Welcome back blog family.  It's your Grandad AO and The Growth Never Stops .  EVERYBODY NEEDS INDEPENDENCE , especially people going to university. University most definitely teaches people independence by throwing them in the deep-end. Forcing us students to cook and learn how to fend for ourselves. Even force ourselves to go into our most hated lectures at 9AM! But with saying that, you can easily be a university student and not be independent.  We all need to understand that IT IS ONLY US ON OUR JOURNEY'S in life. I'm not saying that we are all alone in this walk of lives or that we don't have people there for us such as friends and family. What I am saying is we are the only ones who go through exactly what we go through when we go through it. WE are the only one who decide where we go on this journey with our actions. I don't believe anyone's purpose on this earth is to be a follower, yes some peo

STOP THIS

STOP THIS!! STOP letting the length of the journey stop you from getting where you want to be. You Do not need to conqor the world in a day, take a breath. Slow down.  So many times when I think about what I want to do in life I think that's it's such a hard and long of a journey it will be.  MLK said “Faith is taking the first step, even when you don't see the whole staircase . ” so we need to have faith in order to know that we will eventually get to where we need to be ( the top of the staircase).  Once we have faith in ourselves, faith that we are more than capable of completing whatever we've set out to do.  I'm juggling a lot at the moment at university and its very easy for me to feel overwhelmed with big and little tasks from dissertations, going gym, basketball practice, cooking and the Blog, Youtube/ podcast however really and truly I am going to keep on feeling overwhelmed until I know I can do all I wish to & decide to

HOW TO BE PRODUCTIVE

HOW TO BE PRODUCTIVE Hello everyone, I'm back again. Let me quickly give you some pointers on how to be productive.  Being productive will allow you to get more tasks completed within the day.  So lets get started.  The first thing which can allow you to be more productive in the day is having more time in the day. How can you have more time in the day??? WAKE  UP EARLY Yes I said it. And I said it because it's true. However, just because it's true doesn't mean that it is easy. I've tried to do it before and successfully did for a few weeks but eventually, I fell out of it. To wake up early it means that you have to go to bed early too, and when you live with your friends at university it can be extremely hard if you are like me and struggle with self-discipline.  Waking up early is so advantageous because you don't have many things if anything to distract you. Nobody is texting your phone, nobody saying let's do this. Ad
