Writing paper?!! Oh noo, please help . . .

What to do when boredom hits you while you're writing a paper?! Also, your mind can't stop wandering around?! Has that ever happened to you guys?!

Especially if you've been procrastinating, and the paper is due tomorrow! And you're so not done, what to do??
*This is my by the way :D

So, here's some simple steps on how to overcome it . . .


1. Stay positive!
Keep saying, yes I can do it! I will get it done! Don't worry about the result. Just keep trying your best.


2. Take a constant break!
Break will refresh your mind especially if you plan to write for about 4 to 5 hours. Five minutes duration for each thirty minutes of writing will help!

3. Drink water!
If you're at home, drink water as much as possible. It is important to keep yourself hydrated!

4. No social networking!
Keep a note that says "No facebook/twitter" or any type of social networkings until you're done your work. This will keep you focus.
Of course, this takes lots of practise. Please don't get discouraged if your mission's failed. Positive attitude is the key!

5. Have some Sugar!
If you're like me who feel better after eating some sweets, then try having some "nutritious" snack on your desk. It could be apples, strawberries or anything nutritious, so that you don't lose your energy while studying.


What happened if you've messed up your plan?!

Accept that you're human. You make mistakes! You need to forgive and ask yourself, "what can I learn from these mistakes". Then move on. Keep going. Keep writing ;)

Writing papers (any type of papers) can be very challenging. Especially if you've been procrastinating. Hopefully, you'll start your paper early so that you don't end up procrastinating them. Anyway, I hope this tips help.

Any comments and concerns are welcomed! Good luck on your paper guys! ;)

How to Overcome Worry and Lessen Stress to Create a Happier Life






Overcome Anxiety and Stop Worrying Today




Worry? ever worry? worry is one of the biggest difficulty most people have and it is absolutely the result of negative thinking and negative self talk. It is a circular thinking pattern. It goes around, around, and around. I think of it as sort of like getting stuck in world pool. You're traveling down this path and all of sudden powerful magnet begin to suck you down and pool you down in the bliss, down to negative thinking pattern.

The problem is that it is a focus on problem instead of on solution. That's right. It is a problem focus instead of a solution focus. You need to interrupt the pattern, and the pattern itself goes around and around. For instance, let's say you had a disagreement with someone and you're worried about whether you're going to make up through the problem again. "Oh Gosh, are they gonna be upset with me", "I said this, maybe I really shouldn't have said that", . . . and it goes on and on. It's a circular thing. It's like a negative world pool. It pulls you off the game. It takes away your ability to be resilience. What you need to do is interrupt the pattern. The easiest to do it is to put down on paper.
For instance, if you have something you're worried about and put all the things you can do to overcome it. When you put it down on the paper, you begin to look at it. It makes it significantly to be easier to work with. Why? Because you get it out of your head. The problem is worry is a circular thinking. When you take it out of your mind and put it down on paper, you can see it. It begins to break up the pattern. All of a sudden, it changes your perspective. Your mind doesn't wonder off into the negative. Why? Because you're going to look at the negatives, and the positives. You can see what you can do. It gives you the opportunity to balance a little bit of both. You begin to take control of you. Our mind have the tendency to wonder down that path.
