There's going to be stress in life, but it's your choice whether to let it affect you or not."
-Valerie Bertinelli
Hello world! If you are new, welcome to the Luminstruct blog! My name is Mark and I am currently working on a "365-Word Project" by posting reflections on various words...Today's word is "stress".
Above I have attached a Wordle of all of the blog posts since the first post in March about "Happiness". If pasted into a word document, I have written over 140 pages of thoughts and reflections and I'd still consider myself very happy!
So here's the hypothetical: If I told you to sit down and write 140 pages of thoughts on random words, you would quickly become overwhelmed! However, by stretching this project over the course of the past year and jotting down my thoughts from time to time, it doesn't feel so threatening!
One of my previous employers always said inch by inch, life's a cinch...yard by yard, life is hard! When setting your goals and planning a big project, take things at an easy pace.
It has officially been a year since I first started planning the construction of the Luminstruct website! Many things have changed since that first thought, but the core principles remain. Recently, we were featured on residentassistant.com as a helpful resource for student affairs staff! I'm very pleased with all of the work that has gone into this website and although it may be stressful, I look forward to next year's progress report...bring on the 280 page paper!
