I was going to try to get more sleep but the way this week is playing out, well...

Did manage to get a bit more than usual last night & a cat nap in the afternoon. It was nice.

I gotta say this: in weeks & months to come, I don't think I'll have much trouble sleeping when the situation permits. Because there will be a buttload of work to do. This week is becoming tiring already.

@Hope  @Heather225  @InternalAcceptance 

One way I will take care of myself this week is: I would like to write more. 

Which in this case means at least one time this week, for at least 5-10 minutes.  In one place, like a journal.  It helps me to get my feelings and reactions to events on paper (or typed); sometimes even to help me figure out what I am feeling about important or stressful things.  I have been feeling lots of anxiety and stress recently.  I hope that writing some of that down will help me to get more of my feelings out of me and therefore lessen the anxiety that can come with the intense emotions.  ~ BooksHugs

I love it I put my pen to the paper every morning to start my day. I include some gratitude, emotions/feelings and reflections on the previous day. I have been doing it since middle school. Marble notebooks to fancy Italian leather journals.
