My laptop has been struggling a lot today. I can feel for it.

Last week I reached out to a lot of people about being on the podcast and learning about podcasting. I'll get to make an appearance on two podcasts in the next month or so. That's AMAZING. I'm very thankful, and I've been trying to be better in my spiritual life and in other things as well to be ready for that.

I'm sure you've felt that way before. You're tired. You want to do more. You've already put in a lot of work that day but there's still so much to be done. You're feeling overwhelmed.

I've had this happen to me many times. I'll be walking to class and then I see somebody I want to talk to and I have to still get a school assignment done. All in all in the back of my mind I'm thinking about things I could be doing.

I've had no job over the last 3 months, I've been searching. I haven't been in school.... yet these few months have had little stress bombs go off in my head and it's been a struggle

Why don't I feel better? Why don't I feel happy?

I worry about things I can't control. All the while as I'm worrying I'm not getting anything done.

1. Talk to someone - About a month ago I decided to just go on a walk. I was feeling a bit overwhelmed

1. Do something fun - We are creatures of work and of play. One thing that fascinates me that I've been able to see as I've gotten older is how all successful people have some kind of outlet to help them give more to their craft, and remember they are a human being and not a robot.

1. Remind myself where you're headed and go for a walk, insistent on improvement - I remember one day in Summer 2019 before classes started back up. It was pouring. I was upset at my situation again.  You can go for a just a little bit. (Listen to General Conference)

1. Take a nap - I've had many times where I was tired and had to get work done. I've had times where I just prayed and worked and somehow I'd end up falling asleep. There were times I'd wake up super refreshed and happy for the rest of the day (today) and I think this is because I took a power nap. When I've taken those 4 hour naps in the middle of the day those wreck me. I also try to go to bed in faith. (hoping I'll wake up when I need to and be able to do what I need to, have good dreams, etc).

1. Exercise - A few months ago on a day in January I was feeling very displeased with how my day had gone so at about 10 PM I decided I was going on a run. I didn't know where I was running. I just started running. I turned on the 10X book by Grant Cardone and kept running. I had many thoughts coming to mind while I was running. I even made a quick video for IG which helped me to run harder. All in all I ran almost a 5k, which was farther than I'd ran in months.
