This week ended up being a very good week for me, so it was hard for me to narrow down my week to three positives. Having great weeks like this don’t happen too often, so when they do I definitely make sure to soak it in and appreciate it.
The first positive that I wanted to touch upon was that I took some time the other day to do some yoga. At home, I used to take some time for myself everyday to do some yoga and be at peace for a bit, but since coming to school it’s been a little difficult to do that and I haven’t been able to make that time for myself. I forgot how much that time really makes a difference in my days and actually leads to me being more productive and motivated. Although I was only able to take 20 minutes for myself and do some yoga, it was still a much needed relaxing twenty minutes. This not only reminded me of how important taking that time for myself is, but it also helped my week be more productive and I was much happier.
My second positive of this week is that I get my big tomorrow. I have never experienced what it’s like to have a sister because I grew up with two brothers, but now that I get a Big Sister for my sorority, I get to have some sort of experience of having that sister. Having someone to always go to and also have as someone to look up to is something I’m looking forward to having and I’m so excited for my reveal tomorrow. It’s been a very anxious week leading up to Friday, especially when receiving gifts from them. I;m so excited to see who my big is but also nervous at the same time, since I’m not sure exactly who it is. I’m sure whoever it is though will be amazing and it’s going to be a great experience and it has definitely been a highlight of my week.
My last positive for this week that definitely made a big impact on my week was my last THON committee meeting. This meeting was definitely a little emotional since these people have become like a family to me and we’ve grown so close while making a difference. I had such an amazing time with them and I’m so beyond grateful to have had this experience with them. Having this last meeting made me look back at all the amazing things we accomplished along the way and how we all grew so close together, all while raising money for childhood cancer. I wouldn’t trade my experience for the world and it was such a bittersweet moment to sit there for the last time and know that it’s my last meeting with them. I cannot wait for next year and to create a whole new experience with new people, who I’m sure will be just as amazing as those who were in my committee this year.
I think the most important part about this week that I realized is to just take a step back and make time for yourself. We all forget sometimes that we need to just relax and focus on ourselves for a minute. Take those 20 minutes for yourself this week and also don’t forget, no matter how bad your day may seem, there’s always something positive about it, no matter how small.
This honestly brightened my day to read because I completely agree that one must always appreciate the positive things even if they’re small. Also, have an amazing reveal!!
I love reading your passion blog, because it is always so positive and uplifting. Keep up the good work.
I loved your post for this week! I agree that it is so important to just take a step back and focus on yourself; I think that reflecting on the week is a great way to start doing that! This post made me want to start doing this for myself as well. I hope your meeting with your big goes well!
I really enjoyed reading your post! I definitely need to take some time for myself to relax.
