I have now 2 exams behind me, and now a new challenge: I have been avoiding checking my email inbox from university because I have not written three essays that I should have already submited... And I suspect that a tutor might have asked me about it, she was probably worried about me, and I have not even checked the inbox.... I feel anxious if I would still be able to submit it to her.... There is also another one whom I didn't ask for extension... I should have given the essay on Monday. I do that sometimes. I really couldn't write because I was so down, and now I can't help but feel shame... And I so loathe myself for being a coward... But I know the lecturers at this university are so kind and helpful, I should really not fear, I have also a letter from my counselor explaining my situation... Now I am trying to build up my courage to deal with it all... I need to leave the voices in my head behind me...
I have opened my favorite blog and there was a post that is just perfect... Isn't that great? http://zenhabits.net/unwanted/
Faced the email.... Feeling fragile now, wanting to run away and hide my head in the sand... Will I have to face the consequences or is it possible that my essays will be accepted? I'm really anxious...
Oh man , I can totally relate. Emails are the worst for me. I like bio energetics by elliot hulse, or osho mediation. Or in laymans terms, going outside to a quiet area and shaking your body like a lunatic. Really helps me.
Zen habits is an awesome site.
I'm in my final year in college. Struggling to get two assignments done. I have exams all of may I should be studying but I'm not.
Tai chi , and yoga are good. Also relaxing music and meditation. Nature etc.
As long as you have a doctor or therapists note you're usually good . Just do proper relaxation techniques that allow you to concentrate on your work.
@naturalwonder Do you feel that there is something particular outside of your control that stops you from studying or is it some kind of internal block? Thank you for sharing the suggestions on how to relax. This shaking thing attracts me the most… Have you heard of laughter yoga? Check it out if you have a chance.
