I'm having one of those weeks. I think this always happens the first week of a semester. There's a huge amount of stress, changes, trying to figure out when to study, when to exercise, when to sleep, when to be social. It's overwhelming. And the first week is the worst. Can you tell I hate it?
Anyway...I've been studying anatomy non-stop since Monday. How many days til the semester is over? Just kidding. I'm actually very excited for the class, and find all of my classes pretty interesting. It's just that constant nagging of what I should be doing (studying) when I'm taking a break (like blogging).
But I have also been reminded of something that can save us during any struggle, whether it's with eating right, making it to the gym, studying for classes or improving a relationship. What we need to focus on is today. If I can study for a couple more hours today, that is good enough. Tomorrow is a different day, a different time, we only need to worry about today.
It's refreshing to say, isn't it? I'm such a planner and scheduler that it's hard for me to just focus on a day at a time. But it makes things so much more bearable. If I can just not eat a certain food today, that is good enough for me. And if you do that every day...you'll be meeting your goals in no time!
Well...it's back to the books. Anyone have tips on memorizing every part of the body? Ha.

FYI, I sucked at anatomy. BIG time, of now help there. But, I still deliver babies... and look at me now. :)
ANYWHO... I think that's a good reminder, to focus on the NOW, not the whole story.
They do that a lot on biggest loser
Also, I had forgotten how hard that first couple of weeks of school is. Thanks for reminding me. :)
