post five things you enjoy, even when no one around you wants to go out and play. what lowers your stress/blood pressure/anxiety level? post it to your journal, and then tag 5 friends and ask them to post it to theirs.
#1: Running. This is definitely the number one for me. Whenever I'm feeling sad, disappointed or things just aren't going the way I want them to, I hit the roads and pound my anxieties into the pavement. I will never forget the run I had after I got home from my PYSO audition. It was the end of 11th grade and I really wanted to get into the orchestra for my senior year...but the audition went horribly and I really let my nerves get to me. I knew I wasn't going to get in and it just made me feel horrible. So I went out on the road, music blaring in my ears and ran until I could barely breathe. Maybe its just the endorphins that make me feel that way, but running just gives me an amazing outlet for my emotions....Try it sometime... =)
#2: Reading. I've always been a huuuuge reader. I don't get very much time to read when I'm at school but when I start a book that I enjoy, I just inhale it. It's wonderful to just sit down when its raining outside and read. Yes, I am a dork.
#3: Scrapbooking/Pictures. I love making scrapbooks, collecting pictures and making collages. Most of you should know that I'm not the most crafty person, but this is the one crafty thing that I really enjoy doing...My scrapbooks might not be the best in the world, but I made them, so I like them!
#4: Doing Nothing. So this might sound a little odd, but go with me here. I feel like I'm on the go so so so much and constantly doing this, studying that, practicing that. It's a beautiful thing indeed to just sit, relax and do nothing. Whether I'm enjoying the company of good friends or just sitting by myself, its nice to not have to do anything sometimes and just take a break from the world.
#5: Promise you won't hurt me for saying this...but cleaning. No I am not lying. This is honestly what I do when I feel sad or depressed. There's something I like about cleaning up and making something clean and look nice again. Maybe it's a sense of accomplishment I get from it...maybe not. So it is a little weird that I clean when I'm sad...but hey, no one said I was normal!
So I think you've all learned a bit more about me today. Maybe more than you wanted to know, but your fault for reading I guess! ;) Anyhoo, things are well down here...finishing up chem 1 which is turning out to be rather stressful. I will be a very happy camper when the final exam is done...
Hope everyone is having an absolutely wonderful summer!
