NOTE TO SELF: WHEN YOU'RE HAVING A BAD DAY

I know these days come and go. They come; but they also go. So here is a few points to remember:
1. This too shall pass. Repeat it like a mantra while breathing deeply.
2. You have things you love in your life: your fiancee, the dogs, your big beautiful family, the best friends in the world, an AMAZING business with supportive people, legs, arms, a body, a home, a brain, ambition, values, freedom... Write yourself a grateful list.
3. Be gentle. Why do you need to do it all today? Can it wait? What can wait? Write a TO DO list (or knowing me you already have), now highlight things that ABSOLUTELY MUST be done today (dog walking etc.). Do those things, TICK THEM OFF and reward yourself for doing them by having a very gentle, relaxing day.
4. How to have a nice day:

1. Put the kettle on
2. Get a novel, a fiction novel that's engrossing
3. Sit on the couch (with a blanket if it's cold), make yourself a big cup of tea or a hot chocolate with honey, hot water and almond milk.
4. Take a few deep breaths and remind yourself everything is perfect right now at this very moment. Repeat this mantra Everything is okay, right now, in this moment continually until you're feeling better
5. Sit on the couch, drinking tea and reading your book for as long as you need. Take the rest of the day off! You've done enough


YOU ARE ENOUGH!
