You've almost made it through week 2 of the Spring term. Congratulations! Next week you'll have a break with no assignments due, tests to take, discussions to post, etc. etc. How do you plan on spending your time? Take some time to enjoy it. BUT still take the initiative to keep your mind engaged outside of your school work. Here's how:
1. Journal - If you already have one, great. If not, get one. Write down your thoughts thus far for the year and reflect on your goals/resolutions. Are you accomplishing what you set forth for yourself?
2. Make a collage - Bring to life any pictures and quotes that inspire you and hang it up in your room or office. Remember our Thursday thoughts post about inspiration? If not, click here . Have fun with it and be creative!
3. Write down some goals - What are your intentions in the coming 6 months? A year? Keep them small, specific, little things you can control. Especially new habits you'd like to adopt - what is one thing you can do every day that would help you reach one of your biggest goals?
4. Choose a good book - Yes outside of your textbooks! Make it a goal to finish it before your week is over. The book should be something that can help you improve or get better at something you're trying to achieve.
5. Do something artistic. - Paint, draw, write, take pictures, dance, sing, build (who doesn't love a good DIY project?) , play an instrument, act, etc. You don't need to be good at it. Just create something original. There's no science behind these, but it's something that can rejuvenate you and make you feel like you can do anything. Don't get discouraged if your art is terrible or your project turns into a total Pinterest fail. Find joy in creating something just from your own brain. It's empowering somehow. So, try it. Trust me.
Orrr you could just
But then how are you engaging your mind? If you choose to binge watch something, why not make it educational and learn something? We say you do!
HAPPY (almost) SPRING BREAK OLCers!
