I would rather be at home. What can I do to motivate myself again and not feel so sad? Answer: First, it is completely normal to feel nostalgia toward places and people we do not have the opportunity to see on a regular basis, especially after spending time during the break with friends and family at home. A great way for you to motivate yourself is to concentrate on the new experiences you are having, and live in the present moment. You can then share these new ideas with others when you return home. Growing and maturing is even more fun when you can share your new adventures with those you love, knowing each semester is a new adventure. Ultimately, if you are not able to get motivated, or feel you cannot get over your feelings of sadness or loneliness of being back at school, please contact a professional that can help you work with your feelings. Tip - Breathing as a central component of better health: What phenomenon begins at birth, ends at death, and is available to you every moment of your life? It is natural that you rarely give it a thought. It works with you to increase your effectiveness or against you to stop you in your tracks. It is your breath. Oxygen is simple, yet important and is a necessary component of all body organs. Red blood cells completely renew every 120 days, not primarily from the food we eat, but from the oxygen we breathe. Breathing should be natural, smooth, easy, slow and silent. Breathing should be done in through the nose, not through the mouth. Shallow breathing fails to cleanse the body of waste and poisons, reducing the effective functioning of body organs and tissues. oiup Mgm Iiuw anu uuocivc yuu? uicdin. nuw does it feel as your body expands to take in fresh air? How deeply do you exhale emptying your lungs and making room for the next new breath? One simple way to slow down and regain control is to breathe in fully and very slowly to a count of eight and then release your breath until the lungs are empty and open. Repeat this practice, especially when you are feeling anxious or tense. Make a practice of noticing your breath, bringing it back to its natural rhythm. It may improve your grades and well-being by reducing anxiety, ridding your body of toxins, and relaxing your mind and body.
