- not becoming successful as a creative designer
- being stuck in a job you hate
- ppp blogging
- living up to what's expected
- fear of the unknown
What stresses you out?
- comparing myself to others
- money
- competition
- time management
- work load
- deadline essays
- too many blogs
- 9:30 start
How do you de-stress?
- listening to music
- sleeping
- watching tv
- social media
- drink tea
- talking to friends
Negative thought you had today
- trying to manage money
- looking tired today
- too tired to function
- wanting to stay in bed all day
- worrying about a house next year
From this we were then tasked with creating a Haiku from these thoughts so that we can create a positive response that may help us to deal with things that stress us out. Shown below is my haiku based on my favourite thoughts shared by others in the class.
