Assignment 19- Ella Jensen

The best advice I’ve ever gotten is to “put it in perspective and enjoy every moment”. As a anxious person I can fuss over one single thing or one decision for hours on end and every time my mom sees me with my worry face on, she tells me to put it in perspective. It only takes a second to actually think about and once I do, every time I feel more calm and accepting of what happened. For example, with grades I will freak out over a 89 versus a 92 and in the long run, it couldn’t matter less. Right now it may seem like the biggest deal but life will go on and if I think about my goals further down the line and one grade in the scheme of things, it is most definitely not as big of a deal as I think it is. Once I have calmed down from whatever the latest drama is, I can finally experience and enjoy every moment because it will only come once.
