Letting go of academic guiltAs schoolwork piles up in March, I find myself doing everything possible to procrastinate. Suddenly, I’m doing extra laundry, reorganizing my space and taking my time grocery shopping. While productive, these tasks can act as a stand-in for the work I am trying to avoid. Afterwards, I’m left feeling guilty for not doing what I set out to achieve, and tired since I didn’t give myself a rest. Like everything else, sometimes our brains become overworked and need a break. Taking a moment to pause, see friends, or do something you love is important to prevent burnout. Being gentle and forgiving to ourselves is all the more crucial during times of heightened anxiety. I invite you all to listen to your intuition, let go of the guilt and take a brain break when you need it! Lucy |
