A Reminder

A Reminder

I am tired of wasting my early life in this way, especially knowing that I'll never get these days back.

Writing this at 1am in the morning, I am determined to stop procrastinating. I'll do the maths notes that I set myself to complete last week, but I'll also follow that art tutorial and start that anime that I wanted to watch. I'll make the most of this time given to me, and make every minute rewarding, whether mentally or academically.

I will stop burning myself out to the point where I procrastinate and force myself to take a big break, but utilise and actually complete my to-do lists.

Investing Time Or Sacrificing Time?

This is a thought which always plays on my mind. Contrary to the key idea of a 'work-life balance' that recurrs throughout my work experiences and chats with both medical students and doctors, I have for now given up on my drawings, video editing, reading books, playing games and so many other me...

As an A Level student, my current years are critical- a poor university application or grades below A*AA in my 3 subjects wil...

"I decided to stop hiding and acknowledge what had happened... I showed my scars and let it be known to everyone that I was accepting reality. By showing my vulnerability it seemed that society, for the most part, put the negativity to rest. While the pain was still there, it was much m...

What To Do If Your Mind Keeps You Awake

What To Do If Your Mind Keeps You Awake

  • Notice: what are my thoughts about sleep right now? How true do they feel?
  • Spot the trigger: what is happening right now that might be causing me to think this way?
  • Practise self-compassion: it’s understandable that my sle...

Question the thought.

I ask myself:

Should I take you seriously?
