A Frustrating Day
It's Monday. I had a pretty decent weekend. I woke up with a plan of action. It was going to be a good day. I even knew what I was going to make for dinner! (Which is always a struggle! LOL)
And then it all fell apart. I had to finish some last minute work. And then got text messages from several family members all at once. And then I was late to a meeting. And then I was late running errands. And then all the last minute work I did was WRONG. And I'm sick of doing it. And then it's gloomy, rainy, and I just don't want to do ANYTHING today.
My anxiety was about a 1 this morning, and now I'm up to a solid 6. I tried to meditate, but all I could do is think about what needed to get done after the meditation session was up. So - no good there.
I'm burned out on the week and it has just started. Bah!
@thoughtfulmomma Ah, I know the feeling. I may not have work or have to make myself food. But I have high school. Sometimes you just have them days where everything seems to go wrong and your stress levels and anxiety levels just increase dramatically. My advice is just to think positively, think about what good things have happened that day, or think what could've happened, but didn't. Just looking on the brighter side of things can help make your day a lot better, atleast for me! I hope your okay now, a bit of a late reply. 😅

Hey, I've just read your post and I could of wrote it myself! In the past when I've has mornings like this, I learned to throw the list away (I got all stressy about the list)...... your only human, and we get things wrong which is perfectly normal, it's our high expectations of ourselves which lead us to panic stations because we get behind on our list!! Just do one thing at a time 😊
Anyways, I hope your week has improved? And hey, tomorrow is Thursday, still wet, cold and rainy, but a new day, 2 more sleeps till the weekend Haha, hope your ok...
Today after school I had anxiety to a higher degree than normal. On Wednesdays, I have violin lessons after school but I was not in a good place. I told my mom I wasn't doin too hot but she ignored me and told me it was too late to cancel. So I was obviously a little upset over that. Turns out, my teacher decided that I should move onto a new piece today...It didn't go too well. Midway through I went to the bottom floor and took a break that didn't help much and I teared up a little but continued anyway. After my lesson I was furious. I don't really know why I was aggravated to the level I was, I do know that I have trouble regulating strong emotions, but this was a lot worse than it usually is. So you can say I haven't had the best day.
The week got better. It just sucks to start out a week in such chaos. It's Thursday and I'm hoping that even though it's still gloomy outside, I'll still be motivated to get things done. Maybe I'll go take a walk around the mall or look at some Christmas decorations to cheer myself up and get into a holiday mood.
I hope everyone else is doing better, too!
