Today the little people and I went off to the park for a bit of sunshine and running around. Bean was a particularly good sport, considering he's a high schooler now and joined the rest of us in our shenanigans.
While this wasn't officially exercise time for me, it was still getting out and getting active time and engaging all of us in a bit of fun. I think that part of the point of exercise for mental well-being is to be able to let go of all of the serious stuff and be in the moment.
Once I was home again, later the same night I went through my subjects on LMS and made some notes about activities and up-coming assessments in my BRD, which I have to admit made me feel a lot more in control of what I was up to.
I also decided to make life a little easier for myself by making a few reference cards for things. It also gave me a chance to flex my crafty muscles, which I have to do at least once a day or I don't feel right. First was a little list of the times and places on campus where I can access computers. For now I don't have my own laptop to use at Uni, so I'm having to make use of resources available to me. Having a bit of foreknowledge of when and where I can go to use computers makes me feel like I'm not confined to the library. Second was a timetable of lectures and tutorials. I do already have one of these and I've also got my electronic version in my Google calender, but this one fits into my BRD and encourages me to use it. I don't think you can have too many reminders of where and when you need to be!
