Mixing Stress and Fun

Are you having the time of your life? Pun: wholly intentional! But seriously, are you? It's a question we all hope we would instinctively say 'Yes' to. 'Yes, I am having the time of my life.' But whether we actually are is something else entirely, and it's a challenge to feel like you are all of the time.

Sometimes I think I'm not fulfilling my time with enough in order to answer Yes. I can blame the fact I am really busy with completing my degree, and the same goes for other people whose time is filled with different mundane tasks that have to be done. But I'm starting to learn that you have to live in the now, and actually make the best of any situation you are in, even if you are in a gloomy tunnel struggling to see the light at the end. If you can fulfil yourself with positivity and good memories, even in the most stressful and boring of times, then imagine how much you can be fulfilled when those less-inspiring tasks are completed and the daunting bridges are crossed. 

My recent trip to the theatre inspired this post, as it made me realise how much of a good time you can have alongside the stresses going on elsewhere, and we actually need rewards for our hard work, otherwise how do you motivate yourself to get over the next hurdle? Amongst the deadlines and pressures, there was light! And oh boy, what a show it was. My favourite film came to life right in front of my eyes and it took my mind away from everything else, and Yes, I can say I was having the time of my life! This outing was a special treat, but I aim to fulfil my time with even more moments like this from now on, because I want to be able to say 'Yes' to that question a lot more often, don't you? 

Stop waiting, and start having your time now.
