How to cool off
How do you guys cool off after sifting through so many issues? it just feels like it starts to weight you down
I deal with a lot of people's situations in my full time job as well ason 7 cups. Prayer is one thing that is big for me,I release what I know I have no control over.
Self care is very important and learning when to break away. Like this weekend, my daughter and I are running away to the Outer Banks of NC, this is a great place for me to regroup, and refresh.This way I will be ready to work with my clients at my job and the members that reach out here. Walks are great, jogging if you are into it. Each person has to find the activity that works best for them.
The most important thing is to know your limits!
I get a nice, big glass of water, and either put my head down or I start to read. It might not be for everyone, but it works for me!
By creating Me time.. reading a nice book, taking a stroll.. a warm bath.. And by realizing the limits of what I can do for someone.. meditation and yoga works for me in that regard.
