Part 3: A Bump in the Road

Although this post might be a little short, I thought it would be really important to jot down. 

I failed today. 

I had a lot of deadlines today for class, and a lot of it I procrastinated beforehand. So, in the morning, when it came time for my half-hour, I thought to myself "I can't afford this. I have to get my work done." Which, is the opposite of what we want to do. At the cost of a little of my mental health, I got just a little bit more time for my work. Which, looking back now, wasn't all that useful because I ended up getting distracted and procrastinated later. 

Thinking back now, I really should've taken that 30 minutes off. Especially on a day when I have a lot of work, it can be easy to prioritize that instead of myself. It can be even easier to become super stressed and for my mind to travel to more negative places because of that stress and pressure. To add on to that, weirdly enough, I felt less self-aware the whole day. I thought less about myself and more about work, school, and responsibilities. For me, that's bad because it often leads to disappointment later, at night, when I think about my day. 

Note to self: Don't miss it again! Especially not for schoolwork!
