Monday Monday Monday

Today was a Monday. Not a usual Monday - it wasn’t all about work - but it had proper Monday vibes. What did I do today? I did some reading for uni. I ‘studied’ another unit of the LVL 2 Self-Harm and Suicide Prevention course (I’ll do the second assessment in the next few days). And then J and I went to meet with Petra. We also did some event planning. Of course, I forgot to take a pic at an interesting moment, so here is a pic of my eReader displaying one of the articles I read today.

Mindfulness moment

How do I feel? I’m physically tired. I can feel my eyes kind of heavy and the sudden Spring weather activated my sinus headache. How can I make things better for my body? I’ll take a Paracetamol and try not to strain my eyes with strong lights after I post this. I’ll also drink some extra water.

Thoughts? I’m thinking about the… relationship between people and relationships. This has been on my mind for a while now - it’s more of a youth work-y question. I don’t have any immediate answers, so I will just let that process in the background while I observe more.

Feelings? I’m happy with how this day went. I’m satisfied with my productivity levels, but I’m also super glad that I hung out. Now I’m looking forward to V getting home so I can spend time with him as well.

Aha! moment - this is what ‘tired but happy’ means! My body needs special attention, but my mind & emotions are positive. It really does pay off to ask questions and patiently wait for answers to come to you. This is something that I can explore tomorrow in therapy!
