With everyone diving head first into midterms, it\u2019s important to remember this cardinal rule. I, for one, ignored this earlier today while bleaching my hair and burned my skin a bit. (Ow) I\u2019ve bleached my hair a million times, but I got a new haircut this way and didn\u2019t realize it was on my skin. Though, I felt it burning (but bleaching hair always feels like burning, so I couldn\u2019t tell the difference), but this minor experienced reenforced how we must pay attention to out bodies!<\/p>\n

This clicked for me yesterday while I was in a fitness class and the instructor began by saying \u201cbe gentle with yourself. This is not the same body it was yesterday, and it will not be the same tomorrow and has different needs and wants.\u201d <\/p>\n

After hours of studying, if you\u2019re tired, take a power nap. Power naps are my secret weapon. I do twenty minutes at the most. If you\u2019re in the middle of working on a project and are becoming distracted, take ten minutes to meditate and refocus. <\/p>\n

If worries are plaguing your mind, upon waking up create a “worry list.\u201d You release your worries by writing them here, so you can get back to the project at hand. You can add to it throughout the day if need be. You will feel so relieved once your worries are \u201csomewhere else\u201d instead of plaguing you. <\/p>\n

Once you go home, if you\u2019re still worried about these thoughts you can create a plan of action so they are less stressful and distracting. (Granted, some of them may not be easy fixes, but we also like to make bigger deals out problems that can be easily solved.) <\/p>\n

What about your body? Do you pay attention to the messages your body sends you? How do you respond?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
