*-. Prioritizing .-*

Yay or nay. This or that. Sometimes I wonder if other people have as much trouble prioritizing as I do. Health is a big thing, right? Eat right, exercise, finish up the paperwork for your health insurance already... or is it? It's almost counterintuitive to say, but for a really long time now -and specially the last few weeks/months- it's almost like health has been at the bottom of my list. And it's not that I don't eat healthy or make an effort here and there... but nothing consistent. How about school? School is a priority. Do I read for my Cognitive Behavioral Therapy class or do I finish researching on Asian Americans for my Multicultural class? Getting a head start on the weekends has been good to do lately, but not enough. I'm not sure if I've ever had this amount of coursework, coupled with so many other things to do. How about internship? Do I have all the information I need to help my clients? What psychological model am I working under? What manuals do I need to apply for this patient? How can I better help that one? And relationships. Friends. Hobbies. Even housework! And finances. Do I spend more time cooking (and thus, spending less money) or do I just forget about that and go jogging (which gives me more energy and makes me feel good about myself) or should I forget about that and study (which helps me in class and internship, and reduces the probability i'll stress out about having to do it later)... And somewhere in there, there is me. Something as simple as taking the time to wash my hair and get it pretty. Taking off that color off your nails finally, because they look awful already. Watching a movie I enjoy. Etcetera. I end up figuring it out day by day. Making decisions moment by moment. I'm sure I don't make the best decisions a lotof the time, but somehow I manage. To turn in my papers (barely) on time. To do an (overall) good job with helping my clients. To stay awake when I'm tired!! To take care of myself. To have good relationships with my friends and my family. The question is... how do I do it? I'm still not sure.
