Exam on Thursday, which I have been practically studying all day for -sigh. But it's 11:20pm now, so I should probably stop and go for a shower and get some sleep so I am able to constructively study again tomorrow. Then once the exam is over I need to focus on the assignment. But I do feel in a good place at the moment as far as university goes so that is a positive.

At least the exam is all multiple-choice ;)

Psychology

The more I get into my psychology coarse, the more I know I made the right decision for what I want to do for a career. I just love learning everything we have been, its so interesting. To the point, I want to pick up that text book and read the whole chapter on Positive Psychology. Things like that usually aren't normal for me haha! I have just been taking steps forward recently and damn does it feel good! Caleb is coming on the 18th, so excited! He'll be here for the Easter holidays. I can't wait to see him again, it'll just make everything even better.

I still need to get a job though, thats the only thing that's not so good at the moment. But I will definitely start applying at places soon! I need the money.

On a random note, had citrus tea from T2 with Claire today and it is sooooo good! Shall have to get me some of that next time I'm there :)

1 Corinthians 10:13

No test or temptation that comes your way is beyond what others have had to face. All you need to remember is that God will never let you down. He'll never let you be pushed past your limit. He'll always be there to help you through it.

Don't you hate it when there is something bothering you and you just wish you could forget about it and for it all to just vanish from your mind. But no matter how hard you try to not think about it, it always finds a way to creep back in.

Many chances

I really feel as though there have been times when things don't work out and I get bummed about it. But when I really think about it, not everything is going to work out the way you imagined it (especially the first time). And we need to give ourselves room to make mistakes because they are in some ways important, because we learn from them and know how to better deal with situations the next time we are faced with them. Just don't give up and keep going with it, even if you fail the first time you can try again. It doesn't matter how long it takes for you to achieve it, since you'll be learning as you go. And it'll make achieving it even more fulfilling :)

How you made them feel.

Appreciation Diary

So I feel like I'm on the right track now, was a bit of confusion a while back. Just with uni, but I have it all sorted out now and gosh does it feel good! I've also figured out I worry, way to much. I just am sick of it to be honest, because as we all would know... it really doesn't feel good. And the things I worry about are things I shouldn't even worry about. Because quite frankly I have no control over them, so whats the point? We were talking about that at my uni lecture the other day, how people worry over things they have no control over and how it affects their happiness. Because having a positive outlook on things, contributes hugely to your happiness studies have shown. And apparently positive people live 10 years longer, because our emotions are linked to our body's, just like stress and how they say the more stressed you are the higher the risks of certain health complications arising. It kind of all sounds pretty scary haha! But really there are lots of things that contribute to your health. And it's easy to be positive :) you just need to change your outlook on things. Of coarse everyone will endure sadness in their lives, no one can be constantly happy it's not possible. But also just things like creating an appreciation diary can help a lot with your outlook on things and help increase happiness. Just with helping to make us realise all the things in our lives which we appreciate and make us happy. Helping other people instead of doing things for selfish reasons has also shown as quite the happiness riser. I have been finding all these things extremely interesting!
