Sometimes it's time to ease up. See how much more you get done when you ease up. And see how much more playing and laughing and enjoying gets done too." Are there any areas in your life where you could ease up on yourself? What brings you joy and helps you to ease up?]]> 2019-11-05 22:54:26 UTC https://padlet.com/21hermanh/axo6l7180otl/wish/407175410 https://padlet.com/21hermanh/axo6l7180otl/wish/408102383 I can ease up in life in my school work. School takes up all of my time and makes me sad and angry sometimes. My family and friends bring me joy as well as playing soccer and doing other fun things.]]> 2019-11-07 14:55:32 UTC https://padlet.com/21hermanh/axo6l7180otl/wish/408102383 https://padlet.com/21hermanh/axo6l7180otl/wish/408102519 I don't think there are any areas of my life where I need to ease up on myself, if anything I think I need to ease down a little. Listening to music helps me to ease up.]]> 2019-11-07 14:55:43 UTC https://padlet.com/21hermanh/axo6l7180otl/wish/408102519 https://padlet.com/21hermanh/axo6l7180otl/wish/408103609 I could ease up on myself when worrying about school and tests. What brings me joy and helps me ease up is hanging out with friends or playing soccer.]]> 2019-11-07 14:56:57 UTC https://padlet.com/21hermanh/axo6l7180otl/wish/408103609 alr2 https://padlet.com/21hermanh/axo6l7180otl/wish/408103731 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. ]]> 2019-11-07 14:57:06 UTC https://padlet.com/21hermanh/axo6l7180otl/wish/408103731 21sibertg https://padlet.com/21hermanh/axo6l7180otl/wish/408103796 I could definitely ease up on myself when it comes to school. I am very hard on myself, which often causes me a great amount of stress. To combat this, activities like soccer, listening to music, and spending time with friends and family usually help to relieve some of this stress and bring me joy. ]]> 2019-11-07 14:57:10 UTC https://padlet.com/21hermanh/axo6l7180otl/wish/408103796 https://padlet.com/21hermanh/axo6l7180otl/wish/408103890 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.]]> 2019-11-07 14:57:16 UTC https://padlet.com/21hermanh/axo6l7180otl/wish/408103890 21jumperj https://padlet.com/21hermanh/axo6l7180otl/wish/408104009 Areas in my life where I could ease up on myself are school and sports and not trying to be perfect. Listening to music, relaxing, and spending time with my family bring me joy and help me ease up.]]> 2019-11-07 14:57:24 UTC https://padlet.com/21hermanh/axo6l7180otl/wish/408104009 21delevanr https://padlet.com/21hermanh/axo6l7180otl/wish/408104011 I think that it is important to ease up on yourself in many aspects of your life. Relaxing helps me to focus on a given task, and helps with my work ethic as well. Additionally, taking a break after an activity that is physically or mentally demanding helps give a feeling of reward for my work.]]> 2019-11-07 14:57:24 UTC https://padlet.com/21hermanh/axo6l7180otl/wish/408104011 21johnstonc2 https://padlet.com/21hermanh/axo6l7180otl/wish/408104074 An area I can ease up on is just taking on more than I can handle. That comes to constantly feeling the need to pack my schedule to be happy. Taking time for myself and having rest days helps me ease up and lets me complete other tasks afterwards to the best of my abilities. ]]> 2019-11-07 14:57:28 UTC https://padlet.com/21hermanh/axo6l7180otl/wish/408104074 21johnston_walsha https://padlet.com/21hermanh/axo6l7180otl/wish/408104174 I could probably ease up on myself in a number of ways, namely school. Sometimes I push myself pretty hard and when something goes wrong I think I didn't try hard enough. I'm also a big fan of lavender.]]> 2019-11-07 14:57:35 UTC https://padlet.com/21hermanh/axo6l7180otl/wish/408104174 21wintersc https://padlet.com/21hermanh/axo6l7180otl/wish/408104489 There are definitely many areas in my life where I could ease up on myself. One of those areas is schoolwork. Instead of doing schoolwork all night long, I could just go to bed instead, because my health is more important. Sleeping, listening to music, going outside, and playing games bring me joy and help me ease up.]]> 2019-11-07 14:57:57 UTC https://padlet.com/21hermanh/axo6l7180otl/wish/408104489 https://padlet.com/21hermanh/axo6l7180otl/wish/408104640 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. ]]> 2019-11-07 14:58:08 UTC https://padlet.com/21hermanh/axo6l7180otl/wish/408104640 https://padlet.com/21hermanh/axo6l7180otl/wish/408105636 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.]]> 2019-11-07 14:59:20 UTC https://padlet.com/21hermanh/axo6l7180otl/wish/408105636
