Tuesday Food for Thought

February 16, 2016 by Ashley Willies

For the past two weeks I have been waking up around 5:30 am. I do yoga and/or a more high impact workout, shower and hit the books. I did it to improve my time management, health and to hopefully improve my academics. The former two definitely improved, but the latter needed some tweaking. Sigh, why am I saying this…I woke up this morning and it looked like this:

Two quotes from the book to the left got me thinking:
“Anxiety is simply living out the future before it gets here”
This is all me. I am frozen doing nothing in the present because I am terrified of what may or may not happen only to further propagate my anxiety because I am doing nothing.

“Just because you pray doesn’t mean your decisions are beyond objection”
This just gives me life plain and simple. You are judged by what you DO. So do SOMETHING positive.

In other words, I woke up and killed more than half of my to-do list because I wanted to and because I wasn’t thinking deeply about it. I just did it. This may seem simple but the feeling of understanding something logically and understanding something because of experience is an entirely different sentiment. One is easy and passive while the other is proactive. You can only hide behind pins of encouragement and positivity for so long. The scariest part is actually doing it and being fearless of the result or lack thereof. No, I lied. The scariest part is trying again if the result is lacking, but I am not going to go down that road.

Well I think that is enough word vomit for the day.

That is all. Happy Tuesday, Folks
