Is resting important or no?

Oh, its weekend already!

This week passed in a blur. Did it for you too? I didn't even realise where this week went but well, I don't really regret. Guess why?

Well, I have been resting and slowly giving myself the time to recover and recharge.

Do you know resting plays an important part in moving forward? Yes, after resting you are able to work and think efficiently and clearly.

Learning to take rest is a task in itself. It’s not just sleeping or playing; it is much more than that. It is not until very recently that I learnt how to rest properly. I have been allowing my body and mind to take its own time to get back to things. I do play games, sleep, and go out to spend time with friends and family but the most important part in my rest is to sit and calm myself.

It is a one of the important lessons I’ve learnt in a while. Earlier, whenever I used to think about resting, the very first thing that came to my mind was how will I finish all my works if I just rest? Whenever I take my time to rest; I often think about the time when I used to push myself to extremes just to finish tasks.

Now, I focus on enjoying those tasks and also take rest in between, Though taking rest still isn’t easy because usually, my first few days are spent in convincing myself that it is okay to take rest and that its okay if I am not able to work immediately the very next day. I need to give time to my body to get accustomed to my changing schedule. It took me a while to learn to listen to my body.

Earlier, I used to be busy with so many tasks that rest was the last thing on my mind. I was constantly thinking about finishing the tasks I had on my hand. I used to make so many stupid mistakes and then had to do the same things again and again and even after trying so hard unfortunately, I couldn’t finish most of tasks.

It is only now that I realise that I have always taken more tasks than I could handle and got tired & overwhelmed by trying to work on them all at once. Just because I didn’t accept that I was tired, I had to put more effort and time in even small- small tasks.

Now, I know that when I rest not only I can think better but also finish my tasks faster.

Enjoy your Weekend!

Why do you think Suicide Rates aren’t decreasing even after several measures?

  Within 2 days, I have heard twice that someone my students knew as a friend died by suicide. They are deeply affected by it as I could hear it in their voice while they were telling me about it. I can see that they are unable to study or focus on their exams even when they are scared that they might not score well. As for me, I haven’t been able to shake this feeling of horror no matter how many times I have tried to understand it. Why do you think Suicide Rates aren’t decreasing even after several measures?   Source: ThePrint As you can see the number of suicides in 2021 is zero. Why so? Well, no exams, no stress, no suicides. Every day we are seeing more and more suicides of students and also the efforts the government is putting to help students through this over the years. Measures & limitations in various forms have been put into place like installing some anti-suicide devices in hostel fans, (yeah, this is real). Schools are instructe...

Didn't achieve what you want?

These days, I have been feeling that maybe I am not doing enough. Maybe I should do more. Even after 2 years of trying to take Codru forward I am not seeing any significant results. “So, what should I do?” “Maybe I should just quit than trying unnecessarily,” this thought has been popping up again and again in my mind. As I have mentioned before, I possess a planner where I keep track of my day and all my tasks, it is there I came across “6 months review & celebration.” So, after September I came to the end of 6 months, and this is when I saw an opportunity to sit and review my past 6 months. I sat down to write all my achievements of these past few months, even if they were small. It came out to be a long list. I realized that achievements can be big or small, even if I failed in many things, still the effort I have put was worth celebrating like completing a task which I have been procrastinating for so long? Or started taking care of my health? Not eating junk food too o...
