Motivational Tuesday: Another Week, Another Tuesday...




Lately I've been struggling, feeling like I'm trying to push a boulder up a hill. So this week's quote is really me grasping at a lifeline for change. I made a promise at the beginning of second semester: No matter how tired you are, or how boring the lecture is, show up to all your classes. On time. You don't have an excuse not to. 

Although it's only the fourth or fifth weeks of the semester, I am absolutely knackered. It's really not as easy as it seems to be a university student. My motivation just seems to have disappeared and I am really struggling to be productive. Unfortunately that means that the work will eventually pile up. And by the time I get to it it may already be exams...

NO! Although I'm experiencing a slump in my work ethic, the doesn't mean I should give up.
Thus this week's quote:


If you ask anyone in my life, I have a can do never give up spirit.  In my 19 years I have been through some seriously difficult times, yet I always come out on top. This slump is a small isignificant bump on the road to success. I guess the best thing to do is to take a step back, take a deep breath and fight to get my motivation back. Because it's probably taking a nap at the bottom of the hill.
  
                                                                                           I better just go and wake it up...

Is there something special you do to keep your motivation intact?

I Drank 2 Liters of Water every Day for 30 Days... Here's What Happened

Image
"I believe that water is the only drink for a wise man" -    Henry David Thoreau Hello, my little chickadee dickadees! How have you been? Haven't spoken in a while, but let's be honest I battled to blog every week. My life is so crazy with my Honours degree that I barely even have time for myself, let alone time to think up a blog post. Yet here we are… It occurred to me last month that a simple solution to my writer's block was to try something new every month and report back on what happened. So I decided to up the amount of water I was drinking for 30 days. This meant drinking 2litres of water a day for 30 days. This only refers to the intake of water, not coffee or tea. To be honest, I probably drank more than two litres (other beverages included), but I wanted to focus on a round, seemingly attainable number. 2 Litres seemed doable to me. Over time, water replaced soft drinks and I actually started to like the taste of ice-cold water, especi

Motivational Tuesday: Making a Comeback After a Setback

Image
Hi guys, so today I'm going to get really serious with you. Recently I experienced a really bad setback. Experiencing a set back really really sucks. You work really hard to get something, yet you miss it. And it sucks, it just sucks. So how do I deal with setbacks? Before I even start figuring out how I am going to get through it, I have a plethora of negative thoughts, which unfortunately is part of my nature, which I'm trying to work on. Unfortunately being a first year, everything is kind of thrown at you all at once. And when you face a setback as a first year, it all seems worse. Well I sit and cry for about an hour, then I snack on any junk food I can find and take a nap for at least an hour. Then I wake up and I feel slightly better, but I still have that sucky feeling. Ya know what I'm saying. S I get up, take a breath and workout, to try and blow off some steam. Take a shower, surround myself with people who love me and support me, then begin

Fitness Friday: The things I've Learned So Far...

Image
Nobody is perfect... That being said, everyone makes mistakes once in a while. I know I have. So I thought I share the more valuable lessons I've learned by making the mistakes I have.  Look at this picture... What is wrong with it? No, it's not that one woman is skinny and her diet only consists of fruits and vegetables, whilst the other  is over There's a reason why I hate the word diet. Google defines diet aweight and only eats junk food. Here's what's wrong: Why not BOTH? s " a special course of food to which a person restricts themselves, either to lose weight or for medical reasons". I don't know if this will make sense, but I feel that it's not fair to force yourself to give up the food you love. I have a loving relationship with food and I don't believe in forcing yourself to give up what you love as it's not the route to happiness. Moderation is key to incorporating these foods into your diet (btw, I'm
