I stopped for a while and once again looked back. Now you may be thinking if I'm the lot's wife of my time but hell no! I'm not. Lot's wife had looked back because of her lust for material things which made her end up a pillar of salt but I looked back to see how far I've gone which only makes me do even more.
I figured out lately that I've been doing better with everything I've gotten involved in due to a system I had to adopt. I adopted the "burning the midnight oil system". That was the only way I would get to study to my heart content.
It has helped me a lot in aspects of concentration whenever I want to study or get an inspiration on what to write about.
I had difficulties studying during the day because of many distractions around. Distractions like: animal noises, friends visiting, music and most annoyingly my sister! It happened that we almost had a fight when she was really disturbing and distracting my focus. I asked her to stop with the distractions because I knew she was doing it on purpose. After much argument she finally hit me up with "why not do your research and studies at night when everyone is asleep so you don't get distracted "!
She said this out of ignorance but it got into my spirit, soul and body. I decided to give it a try.
My first night was weird because I ended up sleeping like a log of wood lol. I woke up disappointed in myself and took it upon myself to discipline sleep.
I stayed up again the second time, fighting sleep with everything I had. I paced around my room, took coffee just so I wouldn't feel sleepy. It helped a lot and ever since then I can stay up for quite a good amount of time studying.
Studying at night was peaceful. I figured the whole place was always quiet with most noisy creatures like my sister asleep lol.
I only heard the crickets call which seemed to be rooting for me.
Burning the midnight oil ain't an easy task for a start but it gives peace of mind which serves as an aid to the brain to be focused on the goal set to be achieved.
I also figured out that during this course whatever I study is understood better because I'm always relaxed.
With a little knowledge of studying about inventors I realized they were very good at it. They would burn the midnight oil to make sure their inventory came out a success.
At this time the brain seems to be relaxed, focused and unperturbed by anything around.
