I've been busy the past few days with working promotional events. It has been a tough, tough three days. One day at a time I can manage, but three is difficult. I made it through though. That's the main thing. The first day was good. I felt fairly stable, not much anxiety either. The second and third days were a little tough, especially the third day, it was the toughest of all. I felt a bit on the depressed side, had some anxiety. And yesterday, it didn't help that I had a terrible headache. But again, I made it through, but certainly not without a lot of self-talk and relaxation techniques. I made sure to take a relaxing lunch away from work for a full 30 minutes. I had to do some breathing exercises a few times to relax as well.
All in all though I am proud of myself because I made it through. I will say though, a three day work weekend is not something I want to repeat again anytime soon because I really don't think I could do it again. I do have a couple of two day weekends coming up, but only two more weekends of that, so I'm doing a lot self-talk to prepare. I have big motivating goals (need the money for several important things) I'm working towards and unless I make the extra money working, I can't meet those goals. (new transmission, new windshield & two women's conferences I want to attend). So hopefully, lot's of rest, relaxation and positive self-talk over this week will prepare me for my upcoming two day work weekend.
Today, I'm still fighting this headache, but have a couple of blogs I need and want to write on, not to mention it's so therapeutic for me, so I think I am going to do that, then relax the rest of the day. So until next time diary.
