Sunday Stuff #1

I sat down to write this post at the beginning of this week but failed to type anything of interest, I then decided I would do a beauty review post but didn't feel that either. So I put it off and put it off, and now it's Sunday, and I should have put this up already, but I haven't. I didn't want to put up a post I would later want to delete or hate looking at, so I thought I would write something that is relevant to me and too many others at the moment.

I have decided that I am going to introduce a new article, that I will post on random Sunday's if I want to write a bit about life and everyday things or just when I want to chat about things that aren't beauty or fashion. 

Queue...Sunday Stuff! (original I know ;)) 

So on Tuesday my AS level exams begin, and I'm not going to lie, I'm pretty terrified! I've gone through the whole really relaxed I'll-do-fine stage, the procrastination stage and I'm finally at the freaking-out cramming stage, and at the moment I'm taking a break to write this post. Exams are an inevitable and truly hated stage in life that causes stress and anxiety and constant worry (well for me anyway), and it can be really difficult to balance life with work. So I thought I would put together some thoughts and quotes to help myself and hopefully some of you get through this period slightly easier. 

1. Firstly, I like to remind myself that this stress/worry is only relevant for a short amount of time; and this will hopefully produce the path to my future career of choice.
2. After I have put in all the effort and hard work, I will hopefully get in return the qualifications I need to pursue the rest of my goals.
3. Hard work and perseverance really does count. No matter how much you think you don't know something or don't remember the information, if you put in the time, the likelihood is you know it, and when it comes down to it you will know what to write.
4. When you get the results you hoped for, it will all be worth it. You will not regret revising when you receive the results you wanted; however you will kick yourself if you don't try and you don't pass.
5. And finally, you can only do what you can do, this is always the last thing I remind myself. With all the hard work in the world there is no point beating yourself up if you are doing all that you can do. If you come out of it with one thing, knowing that you tried your hardest and did all you could, then you can be pleased with yourself that at least you tried.

If you also need help relaxing and taking time out from work, (which is really important!) you can check out my relaxation and meditation post here!

I hope this post made you think a bit, and was helpful at all. It was definitely therapeutic to write it and to take some time out to do something that really enjoy.

I will definitely be back for my Sunday post, but it will probably be short and something simple :)

Good luck to all of those with exams coming up! I will see you soon my lovelies :)
