Hi everyone and welcome back! This week is tricky and is something that I don\u2019t think I will ever master. I have grown up with a very fast past life and I never really had time to rest. I am okay with this but it takes over sometimes and I get really stressed. This specific semester I again don\u2019t have a lot of time off. I am always running around either it being work or going into one of my in person classes. The only day I really have off to get a lot of stuff done is Wednesday\u2019s. But, even though I save a lot for Wednesdays this is also my only rest day. I have to remind myself of this. It is okay to take a break. No one can go 24\/7 and quite frankly it really isn\u2019t healthy for one\u2019s body. But, what I have learned throughout the years is it is okay to be busy everyday but at some point you have to figure out when to take a breath and do something that you enjoy. Sometimes I like to take a break and hang out with my roommates or sit on social media. Also, a big thing that I love to do to help myself regroup is my night time routine. I have learned that this is a perfect time to let myself unwind and take time to myself. I like to have a night time routine with what I do every night. First, if it is a special night I like to take a shower and enjoy myself with doing any kind of skin care. After my shower I like to get ready for bed and put lavender essential oils on my sheets and turn on my salt lamp. I also like to put my essential oil diffuser to set the vibe for the night. Once I am ready for bed I jump in and take out my planner and journal about my day. Once I am done journaling I take out a book and read for a little bit. Some days I don\u2019t do this and I just watch TikTok or watch Netflix. You have to remind yourself everyday and relax. It is good for your health and it is actually very essential. I challenge you this week to take a part out of your day everyday to take time for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of my favorite things to do at night<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Weekly Shoutout; Last Chance U. This is a Netflix Series that I have been loving. This show is very moving and they tell stories that make me emotional. I feel like this is a good show for people to watch because they can learn about where other people are coming from. I recommend the basketball one, I just finished my first series this week. 10\/10 recommend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
