It's day 3 of these 3 days at home that I had. I hope that at least today I'll be able to silence everything and just focus on studying, apart from doing my routines. The paradox is that I've actually done it before.. Maybe I'm not "hungry" as I was that time.. The famous "why?". My why today is to live an extraordinary life and realize the purpose of making people healthier through consciousness. I'll write it under my vision boards so that I can remember it more easily and constantly.

Causes and consequences

Last week I kinda slacked off on my morning and evening routines.. At least I still prioritized studying and gave up to binge watching only Friday evening (pushing daisies is amazing btw!!!). During the week I felt more and more overwhelmed and in a bad mood.. Negative motivation is not the best form of motivation but it's still better than no motivation at all!!

Things I'm exciexcited about today:

• Being patient and having faith. I loved this video from Brendon Buchard:
• Being present and focused.  
• Being calm.
• Smiling a lot.

Yesterday I managed to do my morning routine, maybe today I'm going to do the evening one too..

• Being focused.

Yesterday I crumbled after dinner, again.. I simplified my evening routine, we'll see how it goes..

 

 

Things I'm excited about today:

• Learning how to be a great doctor!! I started a new internship Monday, I'm in an Internal Medicine ward now and the doctor I'm with is amazing, I'm learning so much stuff!!! 
• Enjoying this beautiful sunny day!!
