The pink coffee before a long day

Bibi asked me today how I feel and I realised that even though I've been writing about it, I haven't really thought about it much. So, Bibi, here's the longer answer. ❤️

I'm trying to keep my energy levels even throughout the day. My to-do list features all sorts of different things every day and I love that. Coffee is a dear friend these days, but I'm also trying to keep it to one per work day and none per relaxing day (I replace it with juice, chai latte, inka, or green tea).

I'm very happy with everything I do these days. I was feeling slightly overwhelmed when you asked me how I felt. How did I feel? What did I feel? 😮😮😮 But then I finished the meeting I was in and took a few deep breaths. I'm still taking deep breaths as I'm sat on the bus on my way home, allowing myself to feel tired and disconnecting my brain from any work.

So, yes, I feel good. In all sorts of ways. Shutting down my feelings while I work can leave me feeling... empty. Thank you, Bibi, for asking me how I feel! I was scared I was hollow, but I'm actually not. I am pleased with myself, albeit tired, sometimes frustrated, but more often happy, and even proud.

Tomorrow is World Mental Health Day. Let's all take a moment to think about how we really feel. And allow ourselves to feel whatever that may be.
