After so many years of working full-time and studying part-time, I’ve finally made it. I’m graduating and officially becoming a Computer Scientist with a major in Software engineering. Sounds good right?
The thing is, that I was expecting some kind of big relive, nirvana, over excitement. But no, at least not all of a sudden.
It has been already a month since I finished and I got my time back, and because I’ve been in that frantic lifestyle for so long, I wasn’t able to manage so much freedom.
I’m still working and working out, so I just got some extra hours every day, but those extra hours, with no responsibilities… that was something new to me.
So like a drug addict, I fell back into my worst addictions:
- Checking social media constantly
- Getting a bit anxious
- Reading the news constantly
- Not doing the things that add value to my live
And that’s why I’m back into my safe zone, this blog.
I did notice that I was falling back again into that deep hole, so I put all the strategies in place back again:
- No social media apps on my iPhone
- No checking the phone or any social media (including Youtube) until past 9 am
- Not reading the news more than 1-2 times a week
- Writing and drawing again in this blog
- Meeting more with friends
Those are simple strategies, but they worked for me in the past and helped me define what I wanted to become.
We must not be afraid of step-backs, as long as we use them to jump forwards.
