Maybe sewing even for 15 minutes a couple days a week may help you feel less stressed?

I think that getting some sewing time in will actually HELP your situation rather than take away study time - I think it'll help your stress level and your overall mood, so that when you DO sit down to study, you'll be in a happier state of mind. If I was closer I'd pop over and take the little one to the park so you could have some ME time!Sandra :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16239494415344028806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158648151491984042.post-15288207184900479352015-03-17T12:55:16.884+11:002015-03-17T12:55:16.884+11:00How about studying some Spanish quilting sites and...How about studying some Spanish quilting sites and blogs?

I'm sure you'll be wonderful in Buenos Aires when the time comes.

I am glad you were able to express your...Hi Nurdan. I am glad you were able to express yourself somewhere, and I want you to know that I read the entire post. I hear you. I am listening. It sounds like you are in a very stressful situation, and I am very sorry that you have had to cut back so dramatically on your creative outlet and are still feeling lost and uncertain. The one silver lining I heard out of all of this is that you are actually doing better than you thought you might. That is worth celebrating! I believe I have read research (somewhere, some long time ago), that the human brain is capable of focusing intently on a topic for about 20 minutes at a time. Would you consider having a conversation with your husband and getting help from him on the weekend to get 3 different 20 minute quiet times a day (so that would be 1 hour of study). They should not happen all at once; it is actually better to do 20 minutes and take a break - whether that break is sewing or helping son or husband out... then get another 20 minutes a bit later in the day and so on. Good luck and *hugs*! xYvonne P.s. My post is a question and request for help this week, too! I'll be back to link up in a few hours (when it is Monday for me!).Yvonne from Quilting Jetgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705160384198590025noreply@blogger.com
