Feeling pretty beat down today. Trying to clear my head and take care of myself in advance of heading out of town tomorrow (I likely won’t be writing blog entries while I am away).
Self care for me involves staying off of social media, drinking water, doing yoga, relaxing and watching a show or movie that doesn’t stir up emotions… and steering clear of any possible triggers so I am able to stay calm for the moment. What makes it more difficult is when people you love and do want to interact with are the trigger, or are doing things that are triggering.
Also thinking today about how past trauma has manifested in my emotions and behavior over time. Sometimes I feel like no matter what I do I am somehow “broken.” Really hoping this weekend is good and I am able to experience some reprieve from all I have been dealing with.
