Make A Habit Of Tuesday!!

Make a habit of taking the time......

hey you lovely lots today is *make a habit of* Tuesday!
I'm reworking and trying to make this blog the best blog it can possibly be. because its a new semester I thought why not make a post to help with our everyday routines and lives so were not over loaded and overstressed with our jobs, daily life woes, and 18 hours of credits, classes, and homework. todays make a habit of is if you cant tell by the title make a habit of taking the time. take the time what does that mean exactly? many things actually, to be honest too many to talk about so instead of a long winded entry I'll name four, four things you should take the time for that I believe will be beneficial to you and your life.

1.make a habit of taking the time to destress
2.make a habit of taking the time to be organized
3. make a habit of taking the time to be happy or look at the good things in your life and finally
4. make a habit of taking the time to realize when its too much, slowdown, take deep breaths

So how do you go about taking the time to distress? Honestly that's all up to you I unwind and  Destress with a cup of tea. some YouTube and a good book , when I have the time. If I'm pressed for time or if I genuinely don't have an inane amount of time to destress in my day I make the time with music or I make the time.by writing it out. I make the habit of trying to make myself feel less stressed because I am always overly stressed so I try to make the habit of destressing sometimes in  big ways and sometimes in little ways. But honestly whatever helps you to destress and helps take away the major edge and stress do it! Make the time , make it a habit and it'll help you so much more with your mental health and you'll feel better . They say it takes 28 days to form a habit so get to making the habit of destressing.

Okay number two an easy one I think and.one that'll definitely help with the ebb and flow of your daily life. Make a habit of being more organized , I probably take this to a major extreme a lot but organization definitely helps make things easier. If your afraid to go all in with extreme organization like me maybe try little things like organizing your book bag, making your bed every morning, getting ready for the next day the night before or packing your lunch/snacks the night before. It's hard when you start because you have to remember and get in a good rhythm but remember 28 days forms a habit! if your wary of making this habit and starting out slow maybe just rip off that band aid and do it all at once, make your bed every morning, pack snacks and lunch the night before, pre plan your outfit for the night before, set out the things you need to get ready for the next day, prepare your book bag and things the night before so you don't have to do it in the morning the list goes on. do it all and start off this way instead of doing it little by little because then you've taken the jump. yes its even harder but if you just go all in and get it together than its a bit easier to get in the rhythm of being organized.

Make a habit of taking the time to be happy or look at the good things in life. we often go throughout our day and pick out every single negative connotation and thing that made our day horrible, when instead we should be trying to look at the good and the better things that happened in that day. Why??  simply because making this habit will make us happier will help us to be more positive thinkers throughout our days and  our lives. take the time to just be happy, look at the good things and remember there's a lot more light than there is dark. as you go though the day instead of picking out the negative and making it all about the bad, try picking out the positive and find what made you most happy during the day, what caused you the most joy in that day and in those moments because it will help to make you feel better and be better. And who doesn't love to be happy?

 Make a habit of taking the time to realize when its too much, slowdown, take deep breaths . don't boil over, don't let it build up inside and then you pop. if your over stressing don't let it get to the point where you feel you cant handle it anymore, take deep breaths, slow down, and realize were all human. we need time to decompress and take a load off. realize when its too much because if you realize when you've reached that point and you take the time to identify it, you have time to catch yourself , calm down, and like I said breath. its a lot to handle, this thing we call life and in order to make it though we need to realize and grasp the overly extreme make the habit of taking the time to realize its too much, slow down and take deep breaths. life is a struggle we need to take it in stride, follow these four tips and maybe it'll be easier. remember it takes 28 days to form a habit and only two to break it, so get started and make those habits.
