Random Points
1. I always believed physical well-being and mental well-being are mutually reinforcing. People know that sadness can make one sick, but not many realises that physical fatigue can make one emo too. Curing emo-ness isn't easy, but you can start by the easier one - by catering to your physical well-being. When you eat healthy, do some exercises, and most importantly, SLEEP enough, you tend to feel better physically. And more often than not, feeling better physically translates to a more alert person and that translates to more energy to do what you need to do, even though you might hate them. A more alert person can also think better and plan better, and usually, the lack of a plan is where anxiety comes, not so much of the challenge itself.
So sometimes, I rather overload myself to 2 hours of extra sleep rather than to wake up 2 hours earlier to do stuff. When you have that extra blood in your brain, you can think better and do things way faster, more than compensating for that 2 hours lost. Plus the quality you can produce, the 2 hours will be indeed a good investment.
2. Graduating anxiety - so busy, focused and worried about the current to really be anxious about the future. It's a form of escapism, even though I have not much time, I try to get myself involved in stuff and make more friends. Of course it's that delicate balance. You can't do either in the extreme such that you compromise the other. If something is compromised, you know you have to drop something. Putting every dish of the buffet on your plate and complaining about indigestion is foolish: u have to measure your appetite along the way and perhaps take a few dishes at a time. Eat little and slowly and you might end up eating more than getting one mega large plate of food.
