if there's one person you could be nice to...

hmmm why not let it be yourself?

so my finals is in less than 6 weeks, and im starting to break into cold sweat just thinking about it. worse is i need to finish my project, which to be honest i really have a lot of interest in, if only i dont have the thoughts of finals breathing on my neck all the time. so i sometimes sink into a cycle of despair-->hopelessness-->dont' want to do work--->more despair and that goes on and on. in short, fear and self-doubt were starting to cripple me.

after some thinking to myself, i started developing a system where i reward myself after every little milestones that i reach. i.e. i'd make something to eat, write a post on my blog for u guys (terharu tak? ;P ) or watch 10minutes of Running Man (oh yes, that korean gameshow. I KNOW, i never liked k/j-pop or dramas, but i absolutely love running man. i think it's because i'm a type A person and i get excited by games and having silly fun like that). so back to my point. i do that, and surely, ive been progressing a lot more than i had before.

my point is, we have to be nice to ourselves. reward ourselves often and generously when we deserve it, and keep to the promises that we make to ourselves. instead of going "i'm gonna change the world tomorrow!", try something smaller but more objective...and reward ourselves when we reach there. i know it sounds like something you would do to train your pets but what are human beings other than high-functioning organisms (and i know some who might not be far away from apes ;) ) .

the distance may be far, but don't expect to reach the destination with a giant leap. a 1000 small steps however, will take you there :) pray for my success in getting that elusive Dr in front of my name, ok! much love.
