Lately, I have been in a state of paralysis. I think after overcoming a hard challenge (my back to back finals) I started to let my guard down a bit or at least allowed myself to chill and procrastinate too much. In other words, I felt I deserved some time off, giving up momentum, and it turns out that I have been having a hard time getting back on track. This has affected my mental state A LOT! Sitting here reflecting, I notice how clouded and negative my mental state has been the last few weeks as opposed to prior to that. Once I managed to snap out of this kind of numbing rhythm and do some mindfulness practicing I noticed a big shift in my mental state, and as a result, I feel much better!! I know I have the need to let off some steam once in a while, but I hope in the future that I will be better at balancing it, so that I don’t get off the track for too long when I do decide to chill a bit.
Hope everyone is doing great 🙂
