Note to Self
No More "Drama"
It's okay to be concerned about the things that happen in your life, but God did not create you to worry about this life and the things of this world. It's all temporary. Why worry about something when the end result has already been determined? God knows the beginning of everything and He also knows the outcome.
• Write it down. Journaling or keeping a diary is a great way to release all the thoughts, ideas, worries, and concerns that may be floating around in your head. By writing your thoughts down on paper, you are able to give your mind rest.
• Get organized. Keeping a planner or a daily or weekly to-do list, is a great way to stay on top of all of your responsibilities. Once you write your responsibilities down on paper, you don't have to try to hold them in your memory and feel worried about forget-ting them. You don't have to buy an expensive planner either--you can make one out of a simple notebook. (One year when I was in college, I made my own planner using the case from an old planner I already had. I printed a personalized daily planner on a half sheet of paper turned long side up, punched holes on the left-hand side and placed a stack of duplicate sheets in the binder. Each page came complete with a place to write a scripture for the day, a prayer list, and my goals. I never felt more organized than during that particular school year.)

• Stay on top of your homework and projects. There's nothing worse than being stressed out about last-minute schoolwork. You will have so much more peace of mind just by learning not to procrastinate with your assignments.
• Prayer works! There is no other time that I feel most at peace than when I am spending time in prayer (talking to God). My mind is no longer thinking about everything that went on during the day, but rather, I'm thinking about the goodness of God.
