I am really mentally off track. The combination of everything has really taken a toll on my self-care. So this week I am not focusing on the numbers on the scale, the amount of water I drink, or the protein I consume. Right now, that all seems like first world problems and it completely dismisses the big picture. I need to scale back and make small self-care goals to... take care of myself since no one else is going to do that but me.
Duh.
My goals for this next week:
1. Get at least 60 hours of sleep this week (~8.5/night) I have been getting 5 hours/night for weeks
2. use my happy light
3. make time to paint at least once
4. Give myself a pedicure
5. make time to play an instrument and sing at least once
6. write a new song about my current struggles, no pressure to record it because it's really only for my ears
7. make time to call at least one of my long distance friends this week.
8. do my taxes! get that weight off my shoulders and enjoy my tax return!
9. PLAY with my cats! No laser pointers, old school play.
10. go bowling with a small group of friends- get out of the apartment and out of my head
11. make time to read a book for leisure
12. Last but not least- call my mom. I miss her and she's been really great to me this past week with everything I've been going through.
That is one long damn list! I hope this time next week I'm feeling better about myself and my ability to take care of my body and my mind. Here's to 6 more days before the official weigh in!
