My last week

Life is a jorney

*This blog post is for a recent week.*

Hello! This week has been totally crazy. I dont want to complain, but I do feel like slowing down things a bit. I was sick on monday and tuesday and couldnt participate to the lectures. I felt bad about so I was little depressed, because for me mondays are the "kick-off big" kind of days, when everything starts from zero and its time to make a great and powerful week with full of good energy starting the day from gym. But this time I wasnt healthy so I was almost sleeping the hole monday. Ofcourse we need rest when we dont feel well, but for me its personally difficult to just sit back and be, when my mind wants to go and do things.

God help me with this

I have also started to write and focus on my personal blog, but it has took lots of time to plan and learn to use a new web page, so I was little frustrated when it took longer that I expected. Im still total amateur and really must manage my time better. Officially my blog is there now and Im proudly published with my first blog post couple days ago!! I knew its not just like putting one photo and writing something I only feel about that moment, but still all the time Im not satisfied for what I have done for my blog because Im looking for content that captures my readers (my mum at least lol) attention and is visually appealing. But im learning all the time and that most addictive thing is to get better and progress step by step. Its also great to write about my own passions, things which are important and valuable to me. I also have high expectations on my blog, so Im really excited to do my thing and listen my inner voice. I was also surprised how my friends were waiting up for the first post, when I told them Im going to start blogging about my training life. Its always nice that others are interested in the issues I share.

I'm totally full of happiness right now and people around me has supported me to write more and they really want to hear more often how my healthy lifestyle is going. It gives me motivation and inspiration there are actually people reading my blog. Blogging has been fun so far and without this course I wouldn't have ever even think about blogging so this has been awesome opportunity for me and I feel blessed I have had this change to learn all the tools and keys for blogging. I know I should focus and work more with my new blog, but I only have 24hours per day and and sad to say I notice I fully busy with work and my training. I don't have days off every week thats why I'm upset and don't want to let my readers wait for too long. But my training couch told me I have to start add aerobic exercise to my everyday workout routines. It means every day during the week except on weekends I have to workout more and these are in addition just extra of my normal excercise in order to increase better shape and get stronger with my body for gymnastic moves. No matter how much I love sports I do not want to stress. Stress is the worst thing that can bring the interest and the passion out. So far, I have been able to cope very well and I have had the motivation, because I know that in front of targets have to work very hard. And the work is ongoing. You must always have a reason to continue when the interest is maintained. It is neither easy and its not post to be. As long as it is worth the fight. Fortunately, part of the journey is listening to my body and to know when rest is needed. Talking sport this much is just normal to me. It leads my hole life and makes me the human I am currently.

..But just breath Girl

Anyway being sick and still taking care of work matters has been challenging me mentally. I have always been that person who can handle everything but when you find yourself not having enough resources for everything it really sucks. I can tell you its been a journey to get my shit together and

try to tell myself to slow down a bit. As a Perfectionist, it is difficult to know when to loosen up and take your own time. From outside things may look so good even perfect, but the truth is quite different. I dont regret being me but im really hoping and wishing to allow myself to be weak also. I know this week has been easy with school so far. Tuesday just sleeping no school but recovering from sickness. Wednesday I only focused to my personal blog and worked out with my mum. Thursday was school and one project to Heinon tukku, where our team did task two and helped to create a marketing strategy for new application which offers companies the opportunity to order groceries to them office. We met with the team on Thursday morning and we did the hole project. We planned and discussed through the Skype during the week and did some background work as well. Otherwise my life has been giving me lots of lessons about stress less and enjoy more. On thursday I also work after school and then on friday my boss really make some nice effort for taking me to watch professional ice hockey. My boss loves HIFK so our work team got a nice gift for working hard for beginning of this year. We really deserve praise for all the work we did. It motivates to continue and encourages. Saturday I was working all day and after work I spent the night at my parents with my little sister. Im sorry to write my blog post this late and it is not a reason to say being on boat trip took some time from my sunday so I admit Im just late and I take full responsibility for the final grade. Here, therefore, the reason why I didnt participate in classes on Monday. I will write much more better blog post featured one of the subject matter with the course and also which is part of my own interest. However, the cruise was memorable and fun. I would have missed a lot if I had not participated. So it was worth it. We students rock!
