Mind Clearing

I have had some times in school where I thought what am I going to do? I have felt completely lost too many things on my plate. Work, school, personal issues just a major over abundance. There was a time where I just felt I had to focus on school and everything else and forget about running for awhile. That turned out to be a wrong choice. I actually gave up my true love for about three weeks a couple of terms a go and this was a decision to focus more on school. It came to me one day via a former professor of mine that I actually needed running to be more focused and this was a wrong decision. I had known that before but I ignored it and just thought I needed more time to focus solely on studies. How ever during those three weeks of not running my studies were no better if I had been running actually they were a little worse. I stopped and thought about this one day after receiving the email from my former professor. The next day I went out for a 5 mile run and everything came to me. During the run my thinking became very clear I was able to figure out many school problems and also figure out many of my personal issues. I am quite serious about this I had already known about how running clears the mind but I felt I still just needed to focus more on my studies. This five mile run was an enlightening expierence for me. All of my thinking became clear and as soon as I got back behind my computer I finished up a couple of projects and cleaned up a few other things also. I know now I will never JUST study and not run. In conclusion if you can run, walk or something physical while studying I highly recommend it I think you will find it to be an incredible studying tool.
