A dream written down with a date… becomes a goal

A goal boken down into steps…becomes a plan

A plan backed by action… becomes reality.

The New Meaning of “Productivity” (Adapting to Quarantine)

Unproductive, unmotivated, frustrated and very bored!

Yes, we hear and say these words now more than ever! It makes sense, though!

As we are in this current situation, we are all adapting to a new “normal”. Not all of us know how to work from home, cook many times a week, be self-disciplined and keep a focused mindset while being at home or in a “not work friendly” environment.

🔸The meaning of the word productivity is changing accordingly.

The Good Thing about Quarantine

Hello friends,

Thank you for visiting my blog.

I was watching one of Alain de Botton‘s videos, which I would highly recommend, and he said something very interesting I thought I would share it with you:

“…Almost all of us are addicts, not in terms of a substance you are taking. No! Addition is basically any pattern of behavior whereby you can’t stand to be with yourself and actually cannot stand the uncomfortable thoughts and emotions that come from being on your own and so therefore you can be addicted to almost anything as long as it can keep you away from yourself. Most of us are addicts! Thanks to all sorts of technologies and distractions, we can have a life where we are guaranteed not to spend any time with ourselves”.

Things to Do to Survive Mental Health on a Daily Basis

Hello everyone!

How are you all doing?

Thank you for visiting my blog.

Today, I thought I would share with you some helpful activities/ simple things to do when you are not feeling your best. Mental health is a long journey that requires consistency and a lot of self-discipline. Although you might seek professional support and in some cases medications, I do believe that a huge part of this process comes from taking small steps to improve your emotional health on YOUR OWN.

Time for a New Routine

Dear Diary,

Although it took me a long to time to finally realize that I need to actually take action if I want to see a difference and change my old habits, I am glad that I am also ready for it. Ready to make effort, and to stick to my goal no matter what happens. I am ready for commitment and a strict discipline. Can I just point out that my “sudden realization” hit me while I was cutting onions to prepare tomato sauce for the pasta I had for lunch ☺️

Hello friends!

I hope you are all doing well!

With our “never-ending” to-do lists and our busy schedules, it’s very hard to allocate some time to cook: think about a meal idea, then look for the ingredients (that we 90% of the time don’t have 😅). I must say with college, I hardly find the time to grocery shop to begin with, mainly because I don’t specifically know what I need to buy, so I end up buying more than what I need  #thestruggle.

Oh my C.Diary, I missed you…

How are you everyone !!

I hope your exams went well   🙂

I don’t know about you, but I finished my exams a while ago. And, usually at the end of each semester, I tend to sit and have a little conversation with myself — about what I learned and what this semester has taught me.
