Moving on in everyday life
Hi everyone!
Something I've noticed about myself recently is that when I'm studying or going down my checklist of things to do for the day or even when I'm doing homework, I have a really hard time taking my mind off the previous task/question even as I prepare to do the next one!
I've realised that this might be the root of my very quick mental fatigue. Every time I do a task, my mind and my heart are still in the previous one, still thinking about it, still trying to perfect it, still worrying about it. It really carries over a burdensome, stressful load to the next task, and the next, and the next, until it accumulates and overwhelms me!
I have tried taking breaks, but once I get back to it, all of the stress from the last one comes rushing right back. This is especially if the next task/question is linked to previous ones and I have to look back or review. When I do that, the emotions come with it.
What are some ways you guys let go and move on in every day life? How can I learn this skill?
Thanks!
