This one’s for whoever is losing motivation

Amidst this whole virus fiasco, it can be stressful. And I’m feeling it too. This is for the event coordinators who have to postpone their events due to corona virus precautions. This is for the students struggling to get home. This is for the ones losing motivation. This is for those who don’t even know if they’ll be able to walk for graduation. This one’s for you. Your hard work is not unnoticed. In times like these, there’s not much we can do to prevent the postponement of events, and as a result the hard work of many can seem like it’s going to waste. But don’t panic. Trust me. Remember why you’re doing what you’re doing. Try not to lose your passion. Everything will be okay. No matter what happens you’ll have supporters and what’s important is that health is being prioritized. In the meantime, some ideas to keep your mind off things:

  • make/listen to music! if you can play the ukulele, piano, any instrument, sing, playing some tunes can relieve stress and take you to your happy place 🙂
  • draw/paint :p any type of artistic creative freedom can be a great way to express your feelings through a different medium
  • watch a new movie/tv show ! taking a break and just letting yourself enjoy a new flick can be a great way to unwind
  • rediscover an old passion– remember when you used to love to write poetry? or dance? or cooking? try to remember why you were passionate about that, and reignite that passion. You loved doing it for a reason, why did you stop?
  • try a new hobby ! you know how you wanted to learn how to knit? no? well.. now’s the time to try! or any other new (and safe) hobby you’ve always been dying to try. No ideas? maybe try painting, playing a new instrument, or dancing.
  • exercise 🙂 not everyone is a fan of working out, but you do have to admit that when done correctly it’s a healthy hobby to have and it can really take your mind off things.
