While all of my friends have been on Spring Break this week, I have been at my desk trying to catch up on schoolwork. Sitting for long periods of time never used to bother me much, but lately it drives me crazy. I have been especially restless this week since the weather has been improving. It’s getting warm(er) and the snow is (almost) gone.
I’m all for going hard and getting work done, but sometimes a girl needs a break. This week I decided to reward hard work with walks. It worked! Knowing that finishing this page, this chapter, these emails would earn me some time outside made me stay focused and cross a lot of things off my to-do list.
Allowing myself breaks throughout the day is good for my mental/emotional health, and taking walks around campus is good for my physical health. Win-win!
Now I can’t wait until the ground is less muddy so I can start reading outside again!
Here’s to brighter days,
