Driving! I had a hour and a half before a date, so I broke out of the football traffic, and started blasting up the canyon. I made it all the way through in less than 15 minutes, so I came back and drove all the way up to Aspen Grove as well, probably going much faster than average. But it felt great!
What did I learn this week? Besides the fact that I should take pictures for my blog instead of stock photographs, I need to be more proactive in my own self-improvement. Also, sometimes we just need a good way to blow off steam. Some people go on a run! I, being "less than athletic," prefer blasting up a canyon with loud rock music. Doesn't matter what it is, sometimes we just need a break.
I find the different ways people blow off steam interesting. I think food is probably my outlet; I love a good ice cream sandwich on a finals day. However, at the end of eating that ice cream sandwich, I still feel pretty despaired. Does driving get rid of it for you?
ReplyDeleteIts so true. This last week was really rough for me too. Something that really helps me is to just take it one thing at a time and then celebrate as you accomplish small milestones. My celebrations usually consist of a nap. What greater reward than sleep?
ReplyDeleteI agree! We all need breaks. My problem is that when I stop to breathe I find it even more difficult to keep working.
