life rambles
My “feelings” days seem to be Sunday and Monday. Like I’ve said in at least one other post about my emotional state, my “feelings” periods seem to be a lot more positive or at least tempered compared to how they used to feel. I seem to just feel a lot instead of feeling bad a lot. I just entered my personal shark week too so maybe that is adding to or intensifying my feelings (although I don’t generally notice a huge change in my emotions during this period of time).
Being on tumblr and facebook and twitter and checking my email very often is starting to get on my nerves A LOT again - especially since I’m not going to work and class for long periods during most days. I’m going to start scaling back my internet usage like I did during exams last semester because I know that I am really bad about getting into cycles of anxiety made worse by being online and pining for attention or connections with people that I should just be getting in real life.
I’m doing a half marathon in March with my mom and I need to start training for that. I’ve wanted to get back into erging this semester as a way to occupy my time and get more in shape again. Exercising regularly will help with my body image issues, help me be healthier physically and mentally, and will really shape up my days since I do a lot better with a schedule to follow.
I’ve been feeling more clearheaded and lighthearted but my motivation to do schoolwork hasn’t necessarily changed all that much. I haven’t done the readings for three of my five classes and have managed to get by thus far but I definitely need to start keeping up with those. They are the three classes I’m least interested so at least I’m reading for the classes I really like.
