My goodness, this past weekend was quite tiring. My team traveled to Marietta, Ohio to race against Marietta College and Purdue University. It was an eight and a half hour drive each way. Race days are so much fun. It's a chance to showcase the team's hard work and see how other teams are doing. For me, there' so much adrenaline and excitement, so it's not surprising that after just a couple of hours at the racing venue, I'm already wiped out. I'm not going to lie... it was quite challenging to pry myself out of my bed this morning. The typical thoughts came into my head: "I hate Mondays." "Why can't I sleep more?" "I'm way too tired." Now, I'm not saying any of these thoughts are bad per say. I just need to remind myself to try to reframe these thoughts into something more positive. For example: "Okay, I know I am really tired. But other people are tired too. I just need to do my best to make sure this week is productive yet fun. It won'y be that hard to do." I know it's hard to go back to school or work after a nice weekend. Weekends were created for fun and rest, but if we put too much of an emphasis on them, it makes it harder to enjoy each day, especially Mondays. Try to focus on doing your very best work for today. If you keep committing to giving your very best effort for each day, the weekend will be here soon enough. So have an absolutely spectacular day (and week) and remember to stay grateful and positive!
Love Always,
Chloe
