The past few days had been really taxing on me. I had a lot of tasks at hand and even though I was really, really as productive as my mind allowed, I still am not ticking off my tasks because these tasks need a lot of time and comprehension to complete. Ugh, I was feeling too over productive to the point that I just wanna give up some of it, like, you can't have the best of both worlds right? Sigh, but my stupid consciousness at the back of my mind nagged at me constantly, 

Are you sure you won't regret this decision? 

Seriously, this is what I ask myself all the time when I am at crossroads. It's the perfect question for me to decide on anything, and I am constantly striving to be better, to learn new things. Today I'd like to share on why I choose to jog whenever I have the time. Of course, sometimes my lazy worms get the best of me, but since I did jog today, I'd like to share on how it made me feel. This may also be my first ever "lists" post, someone had once told me that people like to read lists and my posts are always really messy and disorganized, so this may actually make it look organized for once.

1. It clears my head.

At times like this, it really helps me to clear my head. Just earlier today I was seated at the study table for the whole day typing away and cracking my head to come up with something to write. It gave me a splitting headache and I felt so miserable that I still had so much work to do. Getting out for a jog just gave me the break I needed, and I needed something different, not even watching TV shows could cheer me up. After the jog I felt really good that I look forward to continuing my work. It's a miracle, isn't it?

2. It allows me to appreciate the little things I overlook everyday.

Without noticing, there is this whole world around us that we always overlook because we were either too busy tapping away on our phones or taking for granted our mundane everyday life. Let me tell you, where I am, Kota Samarahan, Sarawak, it has most beautiful skies ever - those that you only really see in movies. There are no high rise buildings, so the scenery is simply breathtaking and I am grateful for being here everyday.

3. It helps me focus.

Actually, I think this is an elaboration on my first point, but honestly, I'm running out of things to write. The rhythmic tap, tap, tap, of my sneakers just helps me focus and also my concentration on breathing helps me to focus on completing my run, and not let my mind run wild or overthink my worries. It's really just one of the best feelings ever, being able to focus on one thing instead of thinking about everything else. 

 4. It helps me to feel and be healthier.

Okay, I'm not typically those girls that go on diet or restrain from eating because I don't really gain much weight and stuff. So the reason for my jogs are really so that I am healthier. I have the worst stamina, because being the nerd I am for my entire life, I don't do much sports. I think gaining some stamina at this point of my life would be really good because then I wouldn't tire so easily and I'm able to do more, see more things if I travel and stuff. :D
