Oh my lordy lord, lots going on for me at the moment and I'm tired!! Strap yourselves in because I'm about to vent😂 I'm overwhelmed again this evening and frustrated with myself for not going to bed early enough last night, meaning I've been tired and struggling to get through today. Have felt all over the shop I feel a bit silly really, because nothing is bad, so to speak, just lots of change and transition and new experiences, and I'm trying to form new thought patterns/practising new ways of responding to things - it's bloomin' exhausting😂 It feels like all of my energy is going into staying afloat & there's more I 'need' to get done beyond that haha Anywho, the more I can stick to healthy routines and being gentle with myself, the better things will feel, so tonight I'll be whacking a pizza in the oven (and not getting frustrated at myself for not cooking something 'proper'), having a nice long shower with my music playing, and getting tucked up in bed for a nice sleep😴 I'm really trying to focus on getting the basics right - eating enough food, drinking enough water, exercising, sleeping etc, but also reminding myself that getting those things right is an enormous win in itself (and not getting them all perfectly nailed is 1000% not a failure!!!) Reminding myself too that everything is taking lots of energy right now but the reward is worth it and I'm really proud of myself! I'm handling things infinitely better than I would have done only a year ago💪 Repeating an affirmation that really works for me: 'It doesn't have to be perfect to feel safe; I am good enough'
