Just a quick follow up to last night's meltdown.
First off, I'm okay, I was just completely overwhelmed. I've been taking on probably too much and was stretched a little thin and on top of being tired/hormonal/whatever it kind of lead to me being a complete basketcase.
I'm going to practice some kindness to myself. I don't need to be superwoman. I don't have to be everywhere and do everything. This schedule of mine is kind of nuts but it'll ease up in a little over two weeks and until then I just have to get through.
Some of my buddies are doing a perfect week challenge, which in other times I might jump in with you on but I have a different challenge for the next two weeks - survival. Meaning, I get myself through, finish what I need to for the two classes that are ending, do what I have to for work and try my best to find some "me" time. In terms of food/exercise stuff as long as I don't go on some crazy stress-induced eating binge, I'll be fine and I'll go back to a more concentrated effort when my life calms down a little.
I'm going to see if I can schedule a massage somewhere without having to pay a fortune. I'll try to look into this this morning. I'm also going to treat myself to a real dinner somewhere between work and school. Eating a sandwich while I drive is doing something to my psyche I think.
I need these little indulgences, I deserve them, I'm working super hard in many ways and self-care is vital now. I'm also giving myself permission to do "enough", meaning I don't have to work out every day, I just need to work out enough or do well enough in school and at work. I do not have to be perfect. (A hard lesson for a perfectionist like myself.)
Okay, going to shower and get ready for my day. I'll update later tonight and let everyone know how this goes.
