When I need to work on my mental health, it is important for me to relax. For me, relaxation is watching my comfort show, Friends, or drawing up a bubble bath. Unfortunately, my favorite ways to relax are not always an option. When this happens, I like to find a little bit of calm in the storm of high school by setting small goals and rewarding myself as I reach these goals. These rewards can be anything from a cup of coffee to fuel the countless hours up studying, to a short phone call with a friend just to stay in touch through our hectic lives. It is very easy for me to be overwhelmed when I know I have one large goal looming over my head. But when I set small goals, the accomplishment of achieving them helps me to relax, and an occasional small reward helps to keep me going.
