Hello Readers!
I hope I haven't kept you waiting for too long! I recently got a job working as a teacher in New York City. I've been busy with lesson plans, wedding plans AND the transition to find a new place to live. Talk about busy! Starting a new job is quite stressful. Not only do I have to learn the habits and behaviors of the students I teach, I want the people I work with to work in harmony with me as well.
This is a major job in itself! I'm really starting to enjoy where I'm working. I do often daydream of my past experiences and how I miss all the people that came into my life. Now, it's time to turn a new chapter! Change is hard! Now, I know why kids like routine so much. It's comforting and relatable. But, how do we then grow if we can't learn new things and meet new people?
I recently woke up to a colossal zit on my forehead and told myself, " Kristen, you are going through a lot of different experiences and this is ok". Sometimes we just need to suck it up and go through the discomfort of being " new" and tell ourselves we're human and we make mistakes. No one can tell you how to live your life, you have to make choices in life and deal with the circumstances that come along with the choice.
If you're stuck in a fork in the road, and don't know which way to turn, meditate. Write down your thoughts and think things through. In this go-go world, we want instant gratification and decision making at the speed of light. Don't think like that! Very often, Choices and decisions need time. Don't beat yourself up. AND, never let someone or something make up your mind for you! Here's some ideas to calm you and help you think more clearly:
1. Meditate- pull out your yoga mat and sit silently listening to your breathing.
2. Go outside and take a walk. - The air is good for you!
3. Get some good sleep. -8 hours
4.Socialize with friends and family
5. Eat Healthy
6. Workout
I hope his advice helps you whenever you come to your fork in the road. Hang in there and have a great weekend!
