On aspect of my life where I could ease up is my running career. I put an unhelathy amount of pressure on myself and forget to love the sport, and only focus on where it can take me. I must spend more time loving the sport, and less on worrying about it.

There are areas in my life where I should ease up on myself. For example, school plays a big part. I feel like I have to be perfect and get A's. I need to realize that the only thing I can do is try my best and accept that I did what I could. Spending time with my friends, family, and pets help take my mind off the stresses that I may be facing in that moment.

I agree that one area I could ease up on myself is with schoolwork. I feel that if I don't have straight A's or I get one bad test grade I'm done for and my parents will freak out. To ease up I could cook something or read a book.

Thanks for sharing, Hannah. I definitely have areas in my life where I can "ease up" on myself. For instance, I tend to work many extra hours, but sometimes I'm not as productive because I've been doing the same thing for a long stretch of time. In order to work smarter not longer, I need to remind myself to take breaks, go outside, have a conversation with a colleague or friend. This helps in finding a bit of time to relax, but then turn around and be more productive when I am working due to the short break.
