It’s Difficult To Learn How To Accept Yourself, Sometimes It Feels Impossible; But Trust In Yourself

We all know studying for a subject you love is easy, but studying for a subject you hate? That’s the hard part. Personally, i abhor chemistry, so here are some methods i’ve used to tackle this! Hope it helps!

studyblr following spree!!

Wow it’s only been a few months, but I already have more followers on this account than on my main! So to celebrate, I’m going on a studyblr following spree! My goal is to follow at least 50 more blogs, because I currently only follow less than 20 studyblrs. So reblog/like and I’ll check you out!! (all follows will be through my main, wecomefromstars)

1/6/2015 - my first post as a studyblr! starting my morning with a big bowl of vegan oatmeal and goodness, going to start viewing my maths summer homework and hopefully start my bullet journal today (if I can find a spare notebook)!

I get emotionally attached to lyrics, like not necessarily a whole song just that one line that hits you in the gut and pulls out every emotion you can possibly feel and every time you hear that one line its like the whole world is okay for a few seconds.

Regaining Focus

If you’re anything like me, this summer break has obliterated your ability to focus for long periods of time.

I have become so bad at concentrating that I can’t even spend 30 minutes reading the weekly publication I subscribe to.

So how do we go about combating this?

Practise.

Sit down with your work, or if you have none sit down with a nonfiction book or article.

Set a timer for 15 minutes. Most of us can still manage just 15 minutes but don’t be afraid to scale it back to 10 if you can’t.

Read for those 15 minutes and try to only pay attention to your work during that time. Know that soon you will have a break and you can check Facebook, Tumblr etc then. Reading in a quiet place will help.

When the timer goes off, take a 5 to 10 minute break to stretch your legs, grab a drink, check social media or whatever you like to do.

Then repeat the process.

Every few days add an extra 5 minutes to your work time.

Your concentration is a little like a muscle - it takes ‘exercise’ to make it stronger but in this case, your workout is mental.

Within a few weeks your focus will be as good as, if not better than, it was before.

For many of you school starts in about a week. You can make a lot of progress in that time so get to it and you’ll be glad of the results when the time comes to revise for exams!
