Week 1 recap - Goals!

The core concept of this week came from a comparison one of my loved ones made. While I was in burnout, it was like I was in hospital. Now that I’m doing better, that doesn’t mean I’m actually doing ok (or should expect myself to be at my peak functionining). Instead, I’m on bed rest, recharging as much as possible as I comletely wore my batteries out. Any small improvement is a bonus, but not a sudden expectation to do way more.

GOAL A!

Alternate rest with being kind to myself about where I'm at

I managed this quite well. I slept A LOT, and allowed myself to do nothing, or something fun and recharging, whenever I wasn’t flat out at work. I also kept a journal to write out kinder interpretations of how I was feeling, and what I was doing.

Next week: Apply a new concept from counselling whereby I turn up the volume on positive experiences (HEAL: Have a positive experience, Enrich it, Absorb it, +)

GOAL B!

Focus on goal A (while being conscious that I will have to push myself for work)

While I got all the core things done which I needed to at work, it really helped to have full permission to prioritise making things easier for myself.

Next week: Kindness and forgiveness --> Keep a journal every day which focuses on being kind to myself about how I do and don’t cope with a full on week. Forgive myself if I don’t reach my expectations.
