I'm talking to you! (づ￣ ³￣)づ + Health

Recently my focus has been on communicating with others and communicating with myself. I don't think this is coincidental. Perhaps it's for me to understand that the effort I put in towards others, is something I should give myself. I mean, if you got it, use it, right?

Beyond this I have nothing better else to do than to play video games, read a book or work on some stuff from Digital tutors. I'm not saying my summer break is boring, I enjoy being able to lounge around. It's  better to do it now than to wait until I go back to school. During that time I put myself into gear and push forward...or rather, it's my goal!

What I'm saying is that I'm currently feeling under the weather. At the moment I have a cold. I've had it for the past four days,and yet I've been telling myself "It's not a cold!" lol Well, it didn't change the fact. So I've been kind of isolating myself from my mom and sister because I don't have a mask to wear around. At this point I'm at the runny nose stage! Darn it.

I've seriously felt all stages. At first I didn't think it was a cold because I had a bad sore throat at first. It was to the point that I didn't want to speak because it hurt and all I wanted to do was cough. Then the next day the sore throat wasn't so bad. And the day after that the sore throat was gone, but I still felt very stuffy. Now today I'm still stuffy with a muffled voice and a runny nose. I've honestly never had a cold in the summer. Actually, I rarely catch colds.

My mom gave this to me lol darn her. I haven't had a cold for maybe two to three years at least. I'm often quite cautious and I look out for sick people and watch to see if they touch anything after they cough on their hands. But regardless, I haven't gotten sick until now.

Oh! Also on Saturday I went to the library in my old neighborhood with my mom. Surprisingly they had a book sale! My heart started to go nuts with excitement lol Unfortunately a lot of the books were old and weren't very interesting to me. Yet I did purchase one book. We ended up getting two books, one of my nephew and one for myself and the total was surprisingly low. Only 65 cents! I thought that was a steal seeing as the original price on the book I have is 23 dollars.

I've been trying to be a bit active despite my slight fatigue. Such as going for a walk with the dogs, or doing a short exercise routine with Cassey Ho from Blogilates (Love her channel!). I'm actually happy to have workout this week. I've cut down to doing absolutely no workout for the past three months. Yet I've been telling myself that if I don't work out than I won't eat junk food. Ha! I told myself lol Also, coughing while having a sore tummy from a workout is not fun at all lol that or laughing.

Now I see what people mean when they're out of high school. They say something along the lines of "well, I would exercise, but I don't have time" when in reality it's really like "I would exercise, but I just don't feel like it, and no one is forcing me to do it!" On the weekends when my mom isn't working, I'd ask her if she wants to work out with me and she says no lol Then a few days later she'll make the statement that she's gonna sign up to the gym/workout club. I'm always amazed by this.

If you really want to do something, you'd do it. The thing is that the particular thing you want to do seem nearly impossible, despite the fact that you want to do it. When it reality, it's not impossible, it's just your will is a little weak.

Don't worry. I'm not making this statement to say that certain people are not strong enough, I mean I have my days where I just want to be lazy, but my mind won't allow it. It won't shut up with it's persistent nagging of keeping in shape, working on my portfolio, the important stuff. If we just do a bit at a time, I feel that it can satisfy us.

So even if you workout for about five minutes per day, or fifteen minutes for three days out of the week, there is still a benefit. I tell myself this often, so I'm sharing this with you as well :) This is how I get through my classes as well. So be kind with yourself. Treat yourself as a student learning and understand that sometimes we just aren't feeling up to things. That's perfectly fine. Just don't try to make it a habit.

Well, that's all for now. I'm gonna rest a bit and have some tea.

Take care.
