TRY

It is Saturday today. But it doesn't feel like a break at all. I had a couple of things planned for today but so far, I have only cleaned my room. While that feels good, I hang onto this nagging feeling that I should be doing something more but I am too tired to gather enough momentum to do it.

Fab Academy has been extremely demanding. I know I will become a better maker when I come out of it but there are times here that I feel that I do not have enough in my tank. I have feelings of being extremely inadequate and with about a month to go before it ends, I still have doubts about completing my course.

 

But dammit, I'll try. If I know myself, here are things that I will tell myself now that I am going past the halfway mark:

1. Pace yourself - Maintain a realistic schedule. Eat healthy. Exercise. Go for a walk every other day. Don't work when you are tired. A lot of this pressure is mental, and you are good enough to face this challenge. A lot of people have gone through what you are facing but you'll succeed eventually. Seek progress and not perfection.Give yourself time to rest and think. It is often more productive to do this than to force yourself to do things on low battery.
2. Motivate yourself - I would have reached another level and will be able to access new paths when this is over. I dream of seeing and holding my final project in my hands, and it will be a beautiful feeling. I dream of graduating in Czechia 2025, and it will be a wonderful and inspiring trip. I will reward myself with the Lego X-mansion when all of this is over.
3. You are not alone - Ask for help when you need it. You aren't alone. In fact, there are plenty of qualified people that can help you where you work.
