One of the things that I have learnt to do these days is what I call "being kind to oneself". I get so caught up doing this and that and everything that sometimes I feel I should take a step back and be kind to my mind and body and take a break.
This week was crazy. I was easily working 12+ hours a day thanks to all the last minute "urgent, important" projects that were handed down to me, then topping that with yoga or dance which I consider necessary exercise, managing Madam's transport to and fro her 1 week holiday drama workshop, figuring out some sound design stuff for the film and what not.
It was just crazy and today, Friday, I felt completely exhausted. I couldn't focus on work, my eyes were burning, I didn't want to look at the computer and phone anymore, I didn't wanna talk to anyone and I didn't even feel like eating. All I wanted to do was go home and sleep.
So I requested the in laws to take Madam to and from her class, I came back from work early, had some home cooked rice and vegetables, and crashed. For about 3 - 4 hours in broad daylight, I slept away.
I woke up refreshed, happy and ready to take on everything again.
So yes - I was kind to myself today and that made a difference.
409 more to go.
