Before, vacations for me were nothing more than a break from school. Finally! (or so I thought). Now, with already less than a month left before starting school again, I have developed a whole new perspective on this. Many say vacations are stress-free, and I actually have to agree on this, because even though we could be given some deadlines, the amount diminishes, along with the stress. That, for me is what vacations and breaks are for, but being stress-free doesn't mean doing nothing at all, and this is were the initiative comes in.
We are given two months free from school, which is more than enough to switch off completely. This was what I feared the most about summer break because once you're switched off, switching back on doesn't come easy. So, I decided that I would keep myself mentally active at all times, and I set myself goals that were accomplishable.
1. Read at least four days a week (for long periods of time and books of varied genres)
2. Exercise every day (7 times)
3. Be disciplined with my 365 moments challenge

It wasn't too much to ask myself for, but it was just enough to keep my brain active and stay disciplined. I have been following these goals since the beginning of summer and feel motivated to complete them by the end of summer vacations. Setting these goals not only helps me maintain my discipline throughout these two months but also makes me feel proud that I'm working to complete my own personal goals. As I have a lot of free time during this break, using it wisely to complete all my activities is only logical to me as I run by a busy schedule in school. Moreover, vacations are the perfect time for me to find a balance between relaxing and staying disciplined.
