How to study a master's degree to not burn out first?

💌 6 Ways to Fill Yourself with Fire, Our Year 2, Master 🤍🕯️🥞

1. Enter the temple, make merit, pay respect to the monk 🌞

We are not late or ignorant, but feel that entering the temple, paying respect to the monk, or sitting in a quiet place helps to calm our hearts a lot.

Some days when the head is full of study, research, or deadlines, when we pay homage to the monk like what we carry with our expectations, it's lighter enough to go back and deal with it.

2. Enjoy with hobbies 🥞

During hard school, we try to make time for our hobbies.

Because for us, hobbies are not productive.

Something to do because you like it is enough. Going back to doing what you love makes us feel that life is not just a master's degree and that we are ourselves.

3. Arrange our room. Arrange our space. 🧣

If the space around us is comfortable, we will feel more like spending time there, clean tables, tidy rooms.

There are things we like around. We'll feel like, uh, let's do a little more work today. Maybe we don't have to find motivation from anywhere. Just making the environment a better place first helps a lot.

4. Flower arrangement, especially Ikebana, we like the best. 🌷

The feeling of pinning the flower down and putting it upright in a position that we feel very beautiful. It makes us focus on what is in front of us. There is no research paper, no deadline, nothing to think about at the same time. There is only a flower in front of us. And sometimes focusing fully on a thing is a great break.

5. Continue to LEGO and then return to Research

LEGO is another thing that allows us to be more conscious in a weird way.

Next, we focus on the pieces in front of us, not thinking about anything else.

But the funny thing is, after a while, we'll start to feel like enough and back pain and do something else, and then the other thing we're going to do is research.

Which is very helpful because we do not force ourselves to sit and do research for many hours in a row. This one, try to do it, maybe depending on the person 555

6. Stay with nature. 🌳

This is not an exaggeration. For us, the best way to stay from the screen is to look at the trees, go for a walk, look at the sky, look at the leaves.

Or just walking in a place with a lot of trees. After spending hours with a laptop, reading paper and doing research, looking at something that isn't a screen really helps to reset, and sometimes we don't have to do anything to recharge, just change what we're looking at.

We didn't think that exhaustion was something we had to eradicate.

Because in master's school, there are normal tired days.

What we learned is that we don't have to force ourselves to be productive all the time, we just have to know what makes us who we are.

Because in the end, we don't want to graduate with a degree.

Or grow and succeed until you forget who you are on the way. Be kind to yourself:) 🌷
