June 15, 2020- How to restart and recharge energy

Hello June,

what a start we had! Kind of intensive, with a lot of things to finish which I did, and I am thankful about it.

On the other side, I feel a bit low on energy, tense, bad hair, etc. And there are still many things which need my attention, with people having different demands (from my parents, the cat, my colleagues, random neighbours, … etc).

And still, these others are here not happy about something… and I feel guilty for not satisfying all these agendas.

What to do to restart and recharge my energy?

Well, having some sleep and me time is important.

Shut the noise out.

Everything which is not rest, is noise in this case.

Then, feel I deserve accolades for such a good job the last months, and give myself credit, to begin with. It has been kind of heroic to navigate through these complicated times in such an efficient way.

So, instead of guilty, I am to feel proud.

And offer myself something I really like: a fruit juice?

June 3rd, 2020- And yet, another deadline for today!

Dear June,

yes, I have another deadline today! Let’s say that in order to submit a chapter, I put back my everyday job and I am the last employee to finish their assignment at the last minute (well though).

So, getting at least 6 hours sleep to have a clear brain and getting back to work…

Let’s do it!

June 1st, 2020- I did it! Finished writing on time!

Welcome June,

amazing to start the month with a feeling of completion… of a chapter. I was happy, and then I had time to stress for a next deadline: the marking I postponed and need to finish by June 2.

Well?

Yes, I have had two “plaques de chocolat”. And yes, it helped.

A cup of detox tea will be the next step.

And a fairy tale to go to sleep.

And wake up too early tomorrow.

But still, I’ll take the end of the day to celebrate: Today!
