Not so much fitness related, however I feel like this is a good mention for what encompasses overall health š§
Like most, i enjoy goal setting (something that is particularly popular this time of year) and I think every year I set goal to do more and also read more. I usually fail once my uni term begins and all I get to do is read (just not the recreational kind) and get overwhelmed with the pace of life, work and school.
Covid taught me many things, one of the biggest and most valuable things was I learnt more about time. How precious it is, how to spend it wisely and what I want to do with my own quantity of it. Up until that point of my life I didnāt realise how much I had tunnelled myself into a never ending hole of more = success. Each year I found myself having to do more and the return resulted in a decrease of spare time and loss of enjoyment of activities in particular doing sweet f*** all (and enjoying a good book) without feeling guilty.
Iāve spent a lot of last year restructuring my life to allow me to do less but therefore increase my enjoyment of my time. I started this book 24 hours ago, and could not put it down. I read it before and after uni, and finished it this morning before work. It is a lovely story of a young woman who has an ABI (acquired brain injury) and loses her entire identity, it is simple, it is beautiful and moving and I highly recommend reading it (if reading tickles your fancy). š¤
