I realized recently that I have deprioritized most every aspect of mental sanity time, such as working out, theater, art, dance...and man, it has been taking its toll. I didn't realize how much I've depended on one or all of the above things to keep the stress level down until I took them each out of my daily routine little by little.
My excuse was: I have no time. Every time I tried to pencil time for myself, I thought of the hundred other things I needed to be doing instead. After some much needed conversations with people that mean a lot to me, I have realized that I have to prioritize my health and my sanity, or else I just won't be happy doing anything that I am doing.
So today, I made time for the gym. Yes it's ramadan, yes I had classes, and a conference call, and a meeting, and yes I have a quiz tomorrow, but I made the time. And man, it felt so good. I am now penciling in free art Friday before class this week, some much needed time with me and a ball of clay. I think I'm liking this...

Hey doll,
Long time no chats. Hope you're doing well, and looking after yourself.

good call hun. i feel ya, i have been neglecting my body, my health, and my passions somewhat (although extremely more so this week) and you definitely have the right idea. taking time to stop and smell the roses is always important. (i know it's cliche but i have literally done that many times.) you seem to be doing a great job keeping everything rolling with aiesec. if you want to chill outside of that sometime, let me know :)
