Hey ,
Happy Thanksgiving Week! Can you believe it's almost the end of 2019? How are things going?
I've been in a funky mood lately. Have you noticed I haven't been posting and sending emails as often? For a lot of people the end of the year is a rough time mentally and emotionally because of Seasonal Depression, deadlines, finals, and being overwhelmed with life. I'm the latter.
Between my role as an Educator in the Hospital, running and operating New Nurse Academy, being an attentive mom and partner, I'm overwhelmed, tired and cranky!
What helps me in these moments is lots of self reflection, looking for things that make me happy (sleep, trap music, reggae and soca music and FOOD!), and taking mental health days from all work and social activities. Use your PTO!
The other thing that helps me when I'm in a funky mood is to just move and do what needs to be done. When motivation runs out, the thing that gets you to the finish line is discipline. So no matter how much I want to stay in bed, I have to get up and get things going.
I also say mantras to keep me going. 3.5 years ago, one of my favorite Sorority sisters told me this mantra when I was in the midst of financial depression and looking to buy my first home. She said, "Tiff, how do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time." In other words, when tasks seem so monumental and insurmountable that it's too daunting to take on, break them down into bite site tasks that are easier to handle. I used this mantra to get out of debt, fix my credit and save to purchase my first home as a single mom.
Mantras are a statement or slogan repeated frequently to help with concentration and meditation. Similar to affirmations, they are specific statements that help you to overcome self-sabotaging, negative thoughts.
