How waking up early changed my life.

As a student, one of the most important focus of my life is getting enough time to study and at the same time being able to de-stress.

One of my teachers told me the power of waking up early. He mentioned how it changed his life for the better.

For most of us, getting out of bed earlier than usual on a working day is physically impossible and I was one those people that never thought it would work for me, mainly because I thought I needed as much sleep as I could possibly get.

Long story short, I decided to give it a shot and the first day I attempted to wake up at 5am, I literally had to fight myself to get out of bed but failed and overslept.

I kept trying until eventually, I woke up early and that day turned out to be a lot different than the other days. I felt eccentrically energetic. A sense of productivity loomed over me.

That day was one of the most productive days I ever had and so, I turned this into a routine. Waking up early made me feel more in control of how I spend my time.

I also noticed how optimistic I felt while getting things done, not to mention feeling less stressed and tired during the day. The twilight period has to be one of the most therapeutic of times.

Sipping on my tea while listening to the birds chirping and the slight visibility of light really sets a positive mindset for the day. I feel like as students, there is so much pressure to get things done on time that we often forget to take time out for ourselves and that can really harm our mental health.

Being able to give yourself time to de-stress is so important and I feel everyone should try getting up early at least once in their life. It really makes a lot more difference than we think.

Getting to know me!✨

Hey, this is my very first blog post and the last time I felt this much pressure was probably during my Alevel board exams! So to begin with I would love to introduce myself, I'm a regular 17year old who wants to stay anonymous for the time being. I'm in my last year of Alevels so that means alot of big changes are coming my way! The thought of graduating actually feels unreal. I still remember the time I used to look at all the seniors graduating and think to myself "it's probably gonna take ages to get there and it looks like so much work" but now here I am graduating in just a few months! Time flies when you're busy worrying about why time isn't flying fast enough haha! I also love being sorrounded by nature! I can't begin to tell you how many times I've stopped the most important work I'm doing just to stare at fluffy clouds and pretty sunsets! I feel nature really connects humans to the beautiful big world we live in and sets ...

A "not so inspiring" blog post!

So I've had some trouble thinking of topics to blog about and I thought why not talk about exactly that. When I first started writing, I had this idea in my head that the posts I write should always have an aim and should always be up to the level but as the days passed I realized it's not always going to be that way. Blogging shouldn't always have to be focused on talking about topics that need to be heard by the majority. Honestly, sometimes it can be as simple as "How my day was" or " How I completed a task that I didn't feel like completing". In my opinion, blogging is basically journalling that's open to the public. Don't you think? We express our emotions by simply talking about them and receive feedback that usually goes something like "I can totally relate to this" which is what motivates me to continue writing! There's something therapeutic about writing, even if it's the most random of topics. I never ...

The right time.

Back in September, I met my neighbors for the first time, and instantly felt a connection with them! I remember it was a warm Wednesday afternoon when a few ladies from my neighborhood came over at our place for tea. I had school that morning and still remember how I wasn't too thrilled about meeting them because of the crazy amount of schoolwork I had to complete. Also, the fact that I was sleep deprived didn't help either. However, I'm glad my neighbors came over because I met 2 girls who're around my age and let's just say we became good friends by the end of the gathering. That was the beginning of our most regular and spontaneous hangouts. The point of this short story is that good things happen when we least expect it but certainly need the most. We might think that the situation we're facing isn't for the better or maybe isn't happening at the right time but in reality, everything that happens to us happens for a reason and the timi...
