(John 8:31-32)31
Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

(Romans 10:17) 17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

That feeling...

Do you know that feeling when you're so apprehensive and worried about the millions of things to do?
Yup, I have had that feeling all week. (See below post for my long to-do list.)
And you know what? That's just plain unhealthy. For an entire week I deprived myself of facebook, blogs, and stumbleupon. Not only did I avoid internet distractions, I haven't spent quality time with my friends in a while. The sad thing is I've done all this to keep my GPA up. And you know what? I've lived for school and projects... But what is that going to get me in the long run? 

  • Anti-social behavior
  • Unhappiness
  • Anxiety
  • Headaches (Oh yes, I've had one every day this week!)
  • Loss of appetite (if you know me, you know I enjoy food!)
I've been experiencing a lot of these bullet points, and honestly I don't like it.

In response to my own anxiety and burnout, it's time to turn a new leaf and start enjoying moments. Because, honestly, this week was awful and I'm not ready to experience another one like it or let my whole life become that horrible!

*Though I did go see the Bieber movie Thursday night with my wonderful roommate, B. It's amazing! I highly recommend it.*

Breathing easier now,
KT

  2. @Steve, I'll check it out!

    @CG, yes withdrawals... But one of the symptoms of burnout is chronic headaches. So maybe a combo? Either way, ibuprofen and destress = best cure!
