@FootyFan26 haha no problems, glad you could make it. I find it hard to do some things as well because there are people around.

Finding balance means looking after you. Whats something you do to treat yourself to calm down/unwind during a stressful week? 

Pat the dogs while having a cup of tea... or seven.  Then onwards and upwards!

To be relaxed, I either bake a cake or cook something or if I don't feel like cooking I watched my favourite tv shows or movies

Eat pizza 😛

Haha

 

Nah I really like going to the movies. Get's me out of the house or away from work - and allows me to take my mind of everything else in life 🙂

@bessie94 check out my tattoo thread - i draw those sort of things, pretty easy all you need is paper and a fine liner, put my headphones in and its just awesome!

also love just sitting in my hammock on the porch, listening to the outside sounds or music, either way its such a good way to unwind. hammocks are life.

@j95 hey mate welcome to our chat 🙂

finding balance is kind of like juggling- it's always up and down, and changing as our schedules change 🙂

Hey @lanejane love that your in the chat tonight!!!

Yup, so true. Fun things are defs SO important to incorporate into finding balance - otherwise we would go insane haha!

Sometimes its okay tho, we get busy and prioritising happens!

Sounds like you are heading into exams, @lanejane Make sure you set aside time each day to look after yourself. 🙂

My entire life can be described in one sentence: It didn't go as planned and that's okay. ツ

I am about to hand in a bunch of assignments and exams coming up and @stonepixie you are so right, I have to remind myself that it is okay to take some time off and read my book or something that I enjoy doing!

originally posted on 01-06-2015 8:16 PM

@bessie94 I only have 4 assignments left. After doing uni, I feel as though I'm not even studying a course at tafe. I have so much free time, it isn't funny. But then again, most of that free time is spent on self-care and making sure that I don't relapse. 🙂
