How to adjust my attitude by Cora_and_Clarice

"I had forgotten how easy it is to forget."

How I did it: Most of this came from being back on campus for registration. It took me back to the mental space I was in last year and helped me remember why I wanted to do this in the first place.

I also did a visualisation exercise where I imagined being back. I looked around in my mind's eye and I couldn't help but smile. Campus is so beautiful and so full of life, hope and opportunity. I would have been hard-pressed not to feel better thinking about that.

During the visualisation, I also imagined the classes to come. I thought about the future, not just the past. I thought about how it would feel to be working towards something that mattered again. It made me realise I still care.

Lastly, and significantly, I thought about my goals for this year. I asked myself what I wanted to achieve. Did I want to throw myself into my work like I did last year?Or did I want to balance the various aspects of my life more? What did I want out my time and effort this year, and what did I want to be able to see at the end of this?

I found this exercise especially important as it gave me focus and purpose. I had forgotten those during the long break and bringing them back into my mind helped me adjust my attitude to where I felt it should be.

Lessons & tips: Sometimes you just forget. Go back to a place, physically, if you really want to remember.

Attitude expresses itself in goals, and goals in attitude.
