A window into my head and my journal this morning. Sharing in case you need this practice too…
7:30am on Monday is too early to be losing your shit.
Close out the email and the calendar. Take a deep breath, reset.
Finish that glass of water, step away to make that first cup of coffee.
Grab the journal. Make a list of of things that are causing stress right now. What things can I not control? Deep breath, move on. What things can I control? Write out action steps for the week and get busy.
Think of the good and what things are bringing joy. Working in a freshly painted room and home and I’m in love with the color. (Better yet, I wasn’t the one to have to paint it). A school schedule that’s back to more certainty, at least as much as covid allows this year. A small self care tradition kept up, nails once again pretty from another at home manicure. A chance to make a good meal for people I love, appreciated even more since having company feels out of practice (again, thanks covid).
Another deep breathe, now back to work.
