Dear students,
The most useful thing I learned from this module was that working out is a natural stress reliever. I used to be really big into working out and lifting in previous semesters. This semester in particular has been tough for me to work out as much as I used to or even at all because of the workload I have had this semester. So after reading through this module I started to work out this week again and it has really opened my eyes to how much less stressed I am on a daily basis. Even if it is only a small workout. The module this week pointed out many apps and tools to use for various aspects of life. One of the apps that stuck out to me is an app called workout trainer. This app is very useful for logging, tracking, and creating workouts. It has so many options to choose from. I have implemented this app into my daily routine now by creating my workouts and tracking what workouts I have completed. This helps me tremendously by keeping me honest with what workouts I am completing and for reducing my stress levels on a daily basis. So all in all, this app has worked great and I will continue to use this app for a while.
On the other hand, I have a bad habit of waking up in the morning with just barely enough time to walk to class or drive to work without any morning routine. This module talked about why having a morning routine is so important. I never really realized how important and how useful it can be to have. In the future I would really like to set up a morning routine that I implement every day regardless if I don’t have anything until later in the day. Overall, this will allow me to be more motivated for the day and will hopefully increase my productivity on a daily basis.
With that being said, I would advise all of you reading this post who are struggling with the same things as me to start a workout routine and have a morning routine that you do every day so that it will hopefully increase your production and motivation while reducing your overall stress levels.
