Hey, how's everyone on the forums doing? Here's my situation: I've been into personal development for about a year now, and I'm about to graduate from high school. If at all possible, I would really like to spend my Summer essentially revolutionizing my life, starting with my efficiency and productivity.
You see, the speed in which I work is perhaps my life's greatest challenge thus far. I'm probably one of the smarter students in my graduating class to never take an AP course. I've managed to maintain an A average while participating in athletics throughout much of my high school career (Varsity Cross Country and JV Track during my last two years, wrestled JV this year), but not without many sleepless nights.
I've been living like this since fourth grade. For whatever reason, I just can't seem to think and/or write as quickly as most of the people I know. I'm just about always the last person to finish taking notes in class. I can't seem to do anything on a regular basis either than eating, working, sleeping, showering, and taking bathroom breaks. I really want to end this cycle once and for all.
It might also be worth mentioning that I come have a pretty loud, stressful family. When I'm not getting much homework, there's usually some kind of argument taking place at night, interrupting my precious sleep time. I've decided to live in this house for at least another two years, so that's something I might have to do something about as well. To be honest, I guess my time management skills might also need a bit of help, too. If I have an opportunity to do so, I'll usually procrastinate on my homework. It just seems like I've just given up on getting things done early.
I've heard that I might be able to make it in my college's cross-country team. I would really like to make things easier for myself in college so that I can continue my athletic career, enjoy the benefits of sleep and pursue other goals (such as restoring my natural eyesight, lucid dreaming, getting more exercise during the off-season, meditating regularly, developing practical psychic abilities and perhaps find a mate
). Tips, advice, and/or recommendations of any kind would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. Before anyone starts feeling sorry for me, I would like to say that I've had many positive experiences. Although you might not be able to tell from this post, my peers have always recognized me as a light-hearted and upbeat person, long before my learning of the law of attraction. In spite of my somewhat limited social life outside of school, I've enjoyed extreme popularity to go alongside my academic success. I credit this to my unconditional love, which has allowed my to connect with all kinds of people from many different walks of life. Although I have never dated (boo hoo
), I've meet some wonderful people who've really inspired me to seek my full potential, and have enhanced the quality mentioned in the previous sentence. It appears that this chain of events has lead to my discovering the LoA, as well as wonderful resources such as this site. IMO, my crowning achievement thus far is being voted "Most Likely to Brighten Your Day" in my school yearbook. My ultimate goal in life is to be of maximum benefit to the world.
Sorry for the long read. I've just read that expressing oneself is healthy for the throat chakra
