Change #3 - Find Personal Time
Personal time is time that has no utility except to feel good. It is time that is not spent taking care of responsibilities, helping other people, or doing anything else altruistic. The truth is, you need some time every week that is completely selfish. You should do something that is only aimed at making you happy. I think everyone pretty much understands the value in this: if you get a chance to be selfish and do what makes you happy every once in a while, you will feel rejuvenated instead of deprived. Then you will be able to go back and face your responsibilities with renewed energy and vigor. Even if you’re not getting enough personal time to feel renewed, it might be just enough to keep you from going over the edge. So whether you walk on the beach for 30 minutes, go dancing at a club, play tennis on the Wii, or play ball with the guys, get your body moving. Everyone should be able to find something that not only gets their body moving, but is also something they enjoy and can look forward to. In addition to finding a physical activity to engage in regularly, don't forget to get your body moving during little study breaks. Stand up from your chair and stretch your body once an hour. Sit outside for 5 minutes every couple hours and just breathe the fresh air deeply. Go for a 10 minute stroll during your lunch break. Small doses of physical movement while you study will help your concentration tremendously. {Did you find this post helpful?
