Multilevel Modeling

This simply (I wish) is a model that includes variables at more than one level of analysis or if you are a woman in your twenties, then maybe ChatGPT will provide us with better assistance. Lo siento (Cosentino et al.,2020).

Understanding Intrapersonal Dynamics

It has been a lot of self-regulating emotions and stressful times, specifically, finals week. With Mitzi simply making a 15-page minimum and me deciding to conduct an analysis that I didn't fully learn (hint title), I have been stressed.

Understanding that thinking about all I have to do just adds to the stress I found these things helpful during a demanding week.

• Continue your daily workouts, meals, or rhythm. If the day totally doesn't demand you to not go to the gym, girl get your a** up. I discover a sense of calmness continuing my regular morning: gym and Pinterest breakfast while watching my newly discovered show, Bridgerton (thanks Alex, it is good).

• Take a day or night off. No matter what, one night won't hurt. After a long week, I know if I don't give myself a night or day to rest my mind then I my brain will explode.

• Awareness of your study habits. Yes, 15 pages minimum is alot. Yet, the hard part isn't the writing it is the discovering. What do I want to say? Is that valid? Why does that fit? Then why, how, when, who, what, where? I need a night off right now. I know that the discovery part is going to take so long, so I always give myself the time to just explore. Most the time this takes up one day.

• One thing at a time. Coming into the weekend I planned to work on my multivariate final before my organizational devleopment final. But then I was having trouble with the data so I decided to just put that off, work on my other final, and come back to it when I need help. Things won't happen as plan but dont trip. As long as the job gets done. Among all of my cohorts, we all finish things at different times. One thing at a time on my time.

• Go to sleep. If you do the work, no matter the outcome. Go to bed, you have tomorrow. If Peter went to sleep then so can we.

God rules time. He is not ruled by time.

I wish this for us. We can be so urgent with ourselves to be married, successful (who even defines that), graduated, fit, etc. by a certain time. There is so much within us that plays a part in our own story, who is to tell us when we should be anything? Staying within ourselves, our thoughts, beliefs, goals, self reflection and more have an influence on the mental processes within us. So before we can understand our interactions with others, maybe we just need to look at ourselves. How do I show up for myself? Right now that is allowing life style habits to coexist with overwhelming weeks. Because after it all, I am going to be better and more than ever SLEEP and maybe finish Bridgerton.
