Compliment Time


I've decided that one of my needs is more self-love. I'm very hard on myself most of the time and it's not healthy. So to better meet my need of self-love, I'm designing a compliment time. During that time, I'll write down things I like about myself or things I'm doing well. Eventually, I'll have a big list and can spend time reviewing the good things about myself. The hard part is picking the best time for it...

For now, I will do it at my first break in the day. My schedule changes every day, so I think this will help me be consistent without picking one specific time.

Newsroom Rhythms

I spend over 15 hours every week in the student newsroom. I produce the live newscasts on Tuesdays and Thursdays. There are definitely strong rhythms in the newsroom. When breaking news comes in and we're pushing to get everything ready in time, the rhythm of the newsroom is buzzing. There's energy in the air and the rhythm is fast, steady, and pulsing. There are accents when something needs to be fixed, or a problem comes up. In the booth, I try to maintain a calmer, yet still strong, steady rhythm as I communicate with newsroom staff.

Another Domino

Today I had 3 hours of dance practice. The last hour of practice went really well. There was an upbeat, motivated rhythm between me and my partner because we worked hard and communicated well. That rhythm has continued with me throughout the rest of the day--another domino effect.

Afternoon vs Evening

As the sun goes down, my rhythm picks up. I move faster and get more things done because I feel the pressure of the end of the day. In contrast, my afternoon rhythms are slow and relaxed. I think of jazz music as a comparison. I can see the rest of the day ahead of me and I feel like I have time to get things done...so I don't.
