3B. Taking a Break

What do I to relax and forget about everything for a short period of time is going for walks. Going for walks has always been something that I recently found that helps me relax, and makes me feel at ease. When I get stress or very angry about a situation I just leave my house and go on very long walks through out my town. The town that I live in is a very urban place and there’s lot of place to walk through. While I take my walks I normal walk at a steady pace and listen to my music, which calms me down dramatically. For me it can be easy at times to just get up and go and know that soon after I will feel much better about my self. When going for walks I tend too stay out for a long period of time just so I can have more freedom, instead of staying cooped up the house. 

During my walks it’s a time for to reflect on my self and what I can do better about things that I had a hard time facing. It gives my brain a time to think about life. Doing this helps me because if I get angry or I am very stressed out, instead of getting mad at other and doing things I might regret, I just go out and walk where it’s a calm, soothing environment. This motivates me to well, and knowing that I love doing this and want to better myself. Before I found an interest in walking, I would never know how calming it really is and that I would love doing it.

Applying this to my college career is not very hard. Reason is, I know through out college there is going to be times where I’m going to get extremely stressed out and in order for me to overcome it, I know what works for me to be less stress is going for walks. With me going for walks it helps mentally, it makes me become mentally strong. For instance what mad me mad one day won’t make me mad the next day. It helps me relax and apply myself to be not to be mentally weak but to be strong through out my college education and in life as well.
