• stress and optimism

    Have been waking up at 4am almost every night over the past few weeks. Probably stressed about all the undone things, and the uncertainty of the future. I can manage this by breaking tasks down even further. Having 100s of pages of readings to do and five 2k word assignments is a recipe for overwhelm.

    Tomorrow, I will be looking at my calendar and prioritising stuff. Also setting achievable tasks for the week. This is my time to prove to myself that I CAN do time management.

    Also mindfulness. That involves listening to music, playing music, and engaging my senses.

    Had a big cry today, which I hope will be the culmination of the rude night time awakenings. I’ve cried 19 times YTD, compared to 38 times last year and 25 times in 2023. I am SO glad I no longer have Wrong Relationship-itis.

    Peace ✌️
