Make Time

In the army, like in other places, one can easily get caught up in the action. Sometimes one might forget to do things they enjoy. That is a dangerous mistake. Doing what we enjoy is of utmost importance.

Doing activities we enjoy boosts our motivation to do other things, it's like hitting the refresh button. One example is sports, right after the physical activity, there is a period of time when the body feels tired yet energised. It is a peculiar feeling to describe.

This week I experienced all the above-mentioned feelings — I enjoyed a good two hours of team sports, journaled, read and mixed music. Needless to say, it has been a lovely week.

This has made me think – I want to start categorising activities by the way they make me feel. It sounds like a good way to set priorities in life – classifying things by emotions felt.

On that note, think about something that has made you feel good in these recent times. Now when's the last time you did it? Whatever the answer is – go do that activity ASAP!

This Week's Suggestions:

🎶 “Paint The Town Red” by Doja Cat :

This song makes me feel good. It has such a smooth beat and Doja Cat's vocals on it are very calming, even though the lyrics might not be. On multiple occasions I have listened to this before going to sleep, it's perfect.

🎬 Barbenheimer Double Feature - Cosmonaut Quickie:

This is a review of both Barbie and Oppenheimer which I happened to enjoy a lot. I just want to shout out the channel The Cosmonaut Variety Hour which is truly a very down-to-earth movie review channel. Furthermore, it gives entertaining and valuable feedback on movies which I appreciate a lot.

Have a good one!
