Slow Down, Let Things Fall Into Place

You stress too much, push it aside.

Summer went by way faster than expected. It's the perfect time to contemplate life decisions and enjoy yourself at the same time. However, there are some consequences while avoiding your problems. You think everything is okay when you come home for the summer and nothing will change, but it does. It has been a long summer and I have learned a few lessons from what has been going on. A major lesson I've learned is to simply let things go and let things fall into place.

All my life I have jumped into situations and gotten myself in trouble for sticking my nose in something I shouldn't be getting myself in. A common phenomenon which happens frequently is that I jump to conclusions and never let things happen. While it is important to "shoot your shot", I have always found myself in better scenarios when I let things happen. Maybe it's my mindset or the way I view things, but I don't regret anything about it.

A lot of my stress derives from not having everything completely organized and things not going the way it should. For example, you are running late for work because you are having car problems and your work is far away from your house. Instead of manifesting the idea of being late to work, develop the idea that you will get to work and the events will transpire as such. This mindset is extremely difficult to develop because life tends to get in the way frequently and we can't help but let the stress overrule the situation. I feel that a scenario works out best when you understand the life events that are going on but refuse to let that ruin the moment or day. One can see this as a manifestation of the mind to fixate on your mindset.

This can work in terms of people, too. If someone is stressing over a person not calling them back, just let the situation go and let the person come around. Since we are dealing with people in everyday life, it's easy to lose our heads and get ahead of ourselves. Once you let the situation go, the person tends to come back around. Sometimes it's better to take a step back and realize that it's okay to let things fall into place and that things will work out, no matter the situation.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
