This week has been very different from the rest of the semester. My life has been crazy with working part time and all my classes. I've been under lots of stress and at times it has been really hard. This break came at the perfect time, as at the start of the week I had burned out and was physically unable to do all of the things I had planned to do in the first few days in order to have no homework the second half of the week.
After taking the week easy and taking lots of time to relax, I feel much better and happier. I have learned that it is not good to be busy all the time. We need time to relax.
I expect that starting this next week I will be better able to handle all that I need to do. If I just stay busy as I have before, I expect to burn out again quickly and be back to where I was before the break. However, if I take time to relax and have fun, I should be able to continue better and perform at a higher level. Not only will this end up being more enjoyable, but it will be better for me. This is what I hope to be able to do over the last few weeks of the semester.

ReplyDeleteI think that the examples of Christ and Joseph Smith are great and instructive in that they both took time out to relax and play with children. Even when Christ was tired, he made sure that he slept, even amidst the storm on the sea.
ReplyDeleteTrue... I'd never thought about that being time to relax. Good insight!
