Life can get busy, and hectic and fall into a pattern and a schedule. One thing you have to remember is you need a break. You need YOU time. You need to to rejuvenate not only your body but your mind as well. Especially if you are suffering from some type of mood disorder its good every now and then to just let your brain relax and calm down.
In your YOU time you can go to Barnes and noble, get a coffee and read a book, get a massage, get your nails done, or hair cut. Even doing something to better your physical appearance will make your self esteem sky rocket! You could even take a nap, play in the park with your pup. Whatever you do.. just make sure it's what YOU want to do. We all get so lost in the hustle bustle of real life work and home life we always forget to just make sure we are taken care of and that our needs are met.
If you are too the point you are taking on too much and feeling completely overwhelmed take a step back, evaluate your situation. Don't take on too many tasks that will drown you mentally and emotionally. It will NOT help you in anyway, it will only make it worse. Pace yourself and do what workload feels comfortable for you and ONLY you. Don't compare yourself or worry yourself with anyone else. Life isn't a competition.
What Im trying to say is.. pace your work load, make time for you in between so you can recharge your mental battery and have YOU time! Don't wear yourself so thin to the point of a breakdown. Stop it before it even starts. You have the power to do that.
Now go start making a list of all the things you would want to do for yourself and keep them nearby so when you need them.. USE THEM!
Until next time… Be your own warrior!
Much love,
