Last week was spring break, and I accidentally skipped a blog entry before that, so we're on the ninth week now. Today is the first day back in CST 101 after spring break, and the instructor asked us to write about our mindsets. I feel great today, and my mind is all here academically. Yesterday was a furlough day for the class I would have gone to, so this really is my first day back from break. To be honest, I didn't sleep very well last night, and I really didn't think I'd be all here today. I didn't feel very well in my digestive system, so I didn't really get much rest. However, I decided to tell myself some affirmations, such as "I am healthy. I'll feel well tomorrow. I am responsible. I will go to class tomorrow no matter what. I feel healthy. Etc." This morning, when I woke up much, much earlier than I wanted due to my discomfort, I told myself some affirmations again, "I feel good. I am responsible. Etc." So, I rolled out of bed, showered, called the health center to ask a health question, blow-dried my hair, made some tea, and ate a half a bagel before getting on the shuttle for class. I kept telling myself that I feel good and that it' a beautiful morning outside. So by the time I arrived at class, it was starting to become overcast outside, but I still felt good. It also helped that I knew I was on top of all the assignments in this class (minus the blog I missed, of course). Thus, my brain followed suit with the rest of my feelings of well-being.
