Hey all, I’ve been a bit missing in action this week. Been dealing with a bit of stuff, both at the day job and at home.
I had my coaching session with my team leader this week and it didn’t go at all well, in fact everything that I’d been stressing about came to a head and I crumbled, badly.
On top of that, it would’ve been one of my best mate’s birthday this week. She would’ve been 40. It just sucks that she’s no longer here to enjoy life with her little boy (he also turned 1 a few weeks ago).
All this stress has taught me that mental health is actually a real thing and not just a phase. And more importantly I need to pay more attention to it and not just write it off. I’ve been trying to practice mindfulness and getting back into painting at night again. I had so much fun last night, I even stayed up later than normal and it was fun. I need to do that more often.
