If you say so....almost everybody is not purely good anyway (:
*laughs* I see!
Gaaaaaaaaaaaah......feeling stressed and a little sad for some reason -___-;
The same old worrying and "so much to do, so less time" thing and I am sleep-deprived at the moment. That's life I guess.........you become a worrying zombie?!
Sleep deprivation is never a good thing (obviously) and I know that recently I've been chucking myself in bed earlier so that I get more than a few hours sleep. That should be the first thing you do, sleep more, it's never worth it to sleep less- whatever it is! Unless of course it is a matter of your health or immediate family/friends health.
Secondly try not to worry so much about the future. As I have learned in the last few years, there are things you can change, things you can't and things that you can just try your best on. If it's fear of failing to meet some expectation- do your best! No-one can fault you when you try hard and even if you don't succeed, it never ends, there is always a backup plan for everything. You just have to sit down and figure out what best to do if this doesn't work out, try your best and hope for the best.
You'll be surprised just how things can change in a few days, let alone weeks.
Still I hope for the best dear.
I've finally got a good night's sleep today--9.5 hours sleep!!! Still a little sore at my arms and shoulders but feeling 97% now! I do agree, but sometimes I can't help but think that I should get this and this done so I can do more other things...
And oh my. What gracious, wise advice! It's not easy at all as it sounds, as we both know, of course. Just do my best right? That's what I live by, but there are times when I doubt myself, that's all. Thanks so very much for the kind reminder of backing up. I don't have a back up plan as of yet, as I already am on my back-up plan which doesn't have it's own back up plan. *did I confuse you ? *
Again, thank you so very much for the kind words of support; you've made my worrying/stressful mind more optimistic and hopeful! *huggles*
Congratulations dear! Let us hope that the current sleeping habits are maintained! It would be great if you could keep it up, even if I haven't slept that long in oh, say, 6 years.
Well it's just finding the balance between doing something you have to do, something you want to do, something you like to do and then returning back the something you have to do. If you can keep that up, you'll be amazed at the results. :)
Hehe, thanks, I've been known to give good advice in the past. ^^'
I can see what you mean, and being totally honest, I have no backup plan for the backup plan I'm on either. I guess this is why I feel so much more motivated this time. But no, it's not easy, in fact it's really hard...but if you do your best you'll be surprised at what can come out of it. You'll find you can do things you never dreamed possible even.
*Cuddles* You're very much welcome my dear! I like to inspire people to be a bit more optimistic, I haven't seen everything yet, but I've seen a lot- and what I do know is that you can never be too confident.
Well, my sleeping habits range now from 7-5 hours X___x gah. Oh, how I long for the sweet warm place called "bed".
6 years?? Goodness! How much [i.e. the range] hours you usually sleep at night? D:
Yeah, trying to find a balance---it just that it never works for long. One must be flexible at all times, indeed, but it is hard to balance when things are always changing. Not easy! *sighs*
Then you are a highly acclaimed wise advisor!
Hmm....you too have no back-up plan of your back-up plan? Hmm....now the only worry now is.....am I really doing my best? Gah. It always seems like I can always do better, and should have done more in something......like chasing an illusion sometimes and other times I don't feel motivated to do more. So it's very true....it is very hard....and the worry will never go away completely. D: *sigh*
Ok, after that slightly negative note; *cuddles*
Alright! Well...my optimism wavers up and down due to self doubt and fears that keep going around in circles--a few times, I scream to myself in my head [not out loud!] to overcome the thoughts, that "it's not the end of the world if so and so happens!!" and then I try to think of something else. Most of the time I try to be neutral in my thinking and though I see negative points I mostly see positive things in life.
Never be too confident? Riiiiiiight.
Well that's good that you are getting proper sleep! Even if it is hard to get out of the warm comfy bed in the morning, you have to, but a good nights sleep makes it easier to get up the next day. :)
Um, well, you see, I would say somewhere between 3-5 hours on most days. ^^'
Oh I know, things are always changing around me these days, I won't lie and say it's the easiest thing to deal with as it's not, in fact it's quite a pain in the behind to have to keep changing- but it can be done! *Cuddles* ^^
I wouldn't go that far...yet.
Well I never really thought that far ahead. Though I might tell you to plan many many years ahead, that has never really worked for me, so I tend to plan in the short term over the long. The one thing you should never do is begin to regret decisions, what's done is done- no changing it no matter how much you would like to- so just live with what you have! Keep focused on the future and not the past to realise that all right, you didn't always make the best choices, but you still have something you can use.
Just keep believing in yourself, in your ability, and you should be fine. ^_~
*Cuddles back* S'alright. :3
That's generally what you have to do. I mean, there is a balance there, but it's not a balance you can easily overcome as you need to think of the negatives of decisions but generally the positives of situations and how it contributes to your overall goal. No point in being overly optimistic and air headed but no point either in being overly pessimistic and going nowhere.
Seriously. ^^'
Well......I think that's not enough, really--we're more or less supposed to have near 8 hours of sleep. It's the LACK of sleep that makes it hard to get up though in my case!
Whoa......that is vigorous.....how can you survive with your health in the long term, I worry? :(
Yeah.......indeed....all you can do is grin and bear it *cuddles back*
Hohohoho....If you say so
I see what you mean....planning too far ahead doesn't seem to work for me either as it only leads to more changes and more replanning and etc...I do the same as you actually. Indeed...the saying "appreciate what you have not complain what you don't have, and life will be much happier"...or something like that. Thanks for the ever so kind wise words and encouragement! *hugs and cuddles*
I hope I will do fine....I HOPE!
Okay
Very true.......but as we've essentially said, it's not easy balancing the positives and negatives in your mind! We are always making decisions every moment of our lives, no matter big or small.....*nods*
But what about over-confidence? D:
