“Ohhh why didn’t I realise that before?” “Ohhh right, that was happening, but dang I didn’t think much of it…”
How often do we overlook some things that are happening right before us or even to us, and yet we never even realise it’s an issue at all, until it’s maybe a bit too late?

I saw a post somewhere saying “If you don’t choose to rest your body, your body will make that decision for you” (by falling sick), and it’s very true for me! Whenever I I’m overloaded with schoolwork or other commitments, I can feel my systems subtly start shutting down, like a headache, feeling more fatigued in the day, or feeling like I’m in a slump. I make sure to take it easy that day and rest before it gets worse. Once I identified this trigger, I have been able to take better care of my mental and physical health
