Extra Credit

A couple of weeks ago my Book Of Mormon teacher sent out an email telling all of his students "due to a increase of the stress level at school, I am now having EXTRA CREDIT meditation sessions. Meditation is one of the best-stress relievers out there"
In my mind I was like, "whoa, this is sweet, getting EC for meditating?!?! This is waaaay cool" {not to mention very hippie, which is awesome! :)}
Going to these weekly 1-hour sessions have been soo good for me! They are a great way to stop, pause, and be still. You can think more clearly, be more forgiving, let go of grudges, and many more things to make your life more functional.
And right now, since it is my first semester at school, I have been having a little bit of stress being out on my own and turning a new page {grocery shopping, budgets, homework, social life, callings}. And since its my first semester I'm not the best at time management, so I feel like there is not enough time for me, because 90% of my waking hours are spent doing homework. But the 1-hour session is working wonders!! It seems like after I have gone to that I have more time to do things, which is REALLY amazing. And that is my meditation story
