The Walk |1:56 AM

With regards to the previous entry, well, i admit i did in fact over-burden myself with too much stuff, on top of the so many modules i am taking this semester. With all the bottled up stress, and forcasted stress, i had to do something for myself, to ease this horrendous feeling.

Last thursday, after 9 hours of lessons which ended at 830 p.m, i took a walk. A stroll in fact. From Canteen A to Canteen 3 then back to Hall 5 (About 0.5 the circumference of NTU). Fortunately for me, the weather was kind to me and i was wearing proper shoes. heh heh. Well, this gloriously long stroll did wonders for an exceptionally lazy person like me. During the walk, with nice music in my ears (Thank You Qingying, if u ever read this), i started to break down all the crap i had to do and metally sort them out in the order of priority and the chronological order of events. Well, that took only 15 minutes, the other 15 to 20 minutes, was self-hypnotism, self-motivation or meditation (dunno which is the correct term, hence i gave 3, heh heh.) I blocked out all thoughts from my over-used brain and began counting the beats in the song, then i started walking to pace the beats (or half the speed of the beats if it was a fast song), then gradually, i was enjoying myself, just walking. Miraculously, when i reached my hall, i was feeling rather re-energised (instead of lethargic) and wanted to keep walking, but a totally unimportant phonecall (asking me to consolidate attendance and performance list of my members by the following monday) broke the mood and rhythm of the walk and i dragged myself up the stairs to my hall/dorm.

What i gained from this out of nowhere walk, was a few precious minutes of peace and total relaxation. Will look forward to the next time i do this.

Happy walking people. It worked for me, somehow, so try it!
