So here we are second week in a row, GO ME! 

Unfortunately when this post goes live I will be sat in an ICT exam but then I only have one exam left!!

So this weeks quote is:

So it's been a while since I gave you something to think about as you go about your day to day busyness (see what I did there? Okay, I'm going to be quiet now) but they are back! Yay!

So todays quote is this one:

It's time for another Thoughtful Tuesday post:

This week I want to focus on not getting caught up in what has happened so that you forget to enjoy today. 

I found this picture on tumblr whilst searching for resources and ideas and it really moved me, I have no idea why. (It is a wonderful shot anywhoo by Adam Ragan).

Anyways, I'm getting distracted as usual. 

Sometimes we do things or things happen that can affect us in a big or small way, this could be from saying something silly to someone that you feel may judge you or getting a bad mark in a test, these things often are on our minds for days after but the truth is whats done is done there is nothing you can do to change your mark and you cant unsay something (unless you are the Doctor that is) so you need to do you best to move on and try to see the good things that are happening today. There is nothing you can do about yesterday but you can do your best to make today the best it can be, if your head isn't all foggy with the worries of things that can't be changed you can focus on the wonder of today.

I feel it helps to wake up in the morning and think to yourself what happened yesterday is forgotten and empty you mind to focus on the day ahead and make it as good as you can.

I hope this quick little post has helped you to have a little think,

So I should probably be revising for my spanish speaking assesment that's tomorrow but I guess I'm half following the advice I'm about to give you...

So I went back to school today and with my first exam just 19 days 10 hours 52 minutes and 13 seconds away, it's fair to say I'm a little stressed what with revision and millions of language assesments as well as coursework deadlines but sometimes you just need to take a breather and relax even if it's for five minutes just do it.

My new favourite quote explains what I am trying to say perfectly:

Basically, when there are times when you don't stop because you have so much to do it's time to stop, take a deep breath and get lost in a magazine for 5 minutes, have a nice warm bath or go for a sleep. Just do what ever suits you and will help you get your mind off whatever you are meant to be doing. Getting yourself stressed won't get you anywhere, there is always a solution to the problem, just ask someone for help whether it's your teacher, your boss or your parents something can always be done. 

So, remember take a deep breath, relax and ask someone.

Hope you have liked this slightly different post but I wanted to share my feelings on the topic, especially as I need to start following my own advice.
