Assalamualikum sisters and brothers...
Im just wondering if you have any tips that will help me get rid of this excessive nervous energy that im experiencing at the moment. Im thinking its because deadline and exam period is coming up...but im unsure:S I was supposed to have spent the last 3 weeks studying hard.... but I just cant get myself to settle down.
I had a very hectic semester. I was told I would have to organise an annual event 2 weeks before the day of the event, since its a low budget, charity event, there was alot of pressure to raise money. This meant many sleepless nights, random, spontaneous missions, organising performances, a total adrenalin rollercoaster (It was a success in the end- Alhamdullilah).
All this I had to juggle with my academic work, maths exam, pre-tests, deadlines, other responsibilities, and coming to terms with my grandads illness. It took everything out of me...I was looking forward to come back home and take afew days off once everything is over and then focus on my academic work. BUT I still I feel I need to keep going physically, its like im having withdrawal symptoms...
I kickbox, dance and found a new thirst for one of my old hobbies; gymnastics. So I do what I have to, to get rid of this energy but I still feel on edge.
When I sit down to concentrate, even writing this post, its so difficult to focus. Im finding it incredibly difficult to open a book and read! I was reciting Qur'an last week and I felt I had to keep reciting it, especially since Im currently learning tajweed I feel like I need to excel in it quickly. Its the whole I have to keep going disease I have lol. Im not sure maybe I have lost all patience or something?
Yesterday I sat down to make some handmade cards, and normally its a slow and relaxing task, but I finished them quickly and was pleased with them. I wanted more........
I dont drink tea or coffee (I would have to be tied down if I did lol) but I have chocolate almost everyday. Other than that I get on average 3 of my 5 fruit and veg, and drink green tea every morning.Overall, I feel fairly healthy. Last exam period... I had anxiety attacks and this time, im scared I will suffer with them worse.
The worst of it is that I cant seem to focus is salaah and ibadah and its really effecting my imaan. I need to some how stop myself, slow down and reflect. I dont have the patience to pick up a good book, read an article online or listen to a lecture that will help my imaan.
So how do I stop myself and focus this energy into my studies and my deen ??
