Day by Day

Today we had Regional Conference and heard from Elder Holland, President Packer and Sister Beck. Then we had a CES Fireside tonight and Elder Scott spoke to us.

It was such an amazing day! I learned so much, took a lot of notes, and made a few goals to be a better individual and do the small and simple things each day.

I had a bit of anxiety last night and this morning. Partly because I was so tired yesterday and didn't really eat a lot. I got a tension headache. No fun. This morning when I was going to the Marriott Center and trying to find a seat I was so impatient with the people in front of me I just wanted to push past them and get to my seat. So I realized that my anxiety was getting to me. As I was sitting down in the Marriott Center during Regional conference I was thinking about all of the stuff I have to do. I have a paper due on the 30th, that I really need to focus on. I have a book to read in the meantime, and I have a test this week. Then I figuratively slapped myself in the face and wrote in my journal that I need to take one day at a time. Just focus on Monday's reading and Monday's classes and then fit in the things that aren't due right now. Good advice. I have to remind myself not to fill my mind full of things that are so far ahead. Just focus on the hear and now. It was a good reminder to myself.

I'm sure the rest of the week will be great! I'm ready to take the first test but I've got a lot of reviewing to do.
