One Day At A Time.

Tweet

Hey there, everyone. It’s almost 5:30pm on my end, and I’m just getting around to sitting at my computer for the day. Yesterday was a bad day. I’m pretty sure depression was creeping through, and I don’t use that term lightly. I’m making a few changes for my mental health. Some temporary, some permanent. One change that I need to make permanent is taking it one day at a time. It’s harder than you think when you have anxiety, but it’s something I need to do. I’ll ask my therapist for some tips, but until my next appointment, I’m going to focus on whatever I have planned for the day. - Laundry, which I’ve already started. I only have one more load to go, but that’s for later. - Babysit the Little Guy (he had a half-day at school) – done, but it was worth mentioning. - My writing order. It’s the only one I’m doing today, but it has a tighter deadline than my other orders, so I want to work on it this evening. - Post on Medium.com and/or Vocal.Media. - Survey sites. I want to cash out during my slower weeks, so I need to keep up with them. - Notifications. I need to go through my notifications on here and Medium (I don’t have any on Vocal right now). - Clean out my purse. Okay, it’s a canvas bag, and it’s a mess. I need to finally get around to cleaning it out lol. I think that’s the main stuff I need to do. Afterward, I’ll spend the rest of the evening relaxing. I’m also learning how to switch my brain to “out of office” mode when I’m finished with my work. It’s a process lol. But when I’m finished with my to-do list, I’ll grab a shower, pick a movie, and just relax for the night. I really wanna watch “April Fools Day” (the horror movie from the 80s), so I need to find the DVD. I know you need to think about the future to a certain extent, but I was overdoing it and over-worrying about things (i.e., money), and I can’t take any next steps without a clear head, so I’m going to try taking it one day at a time. Anyway. I know I’ve been a little vague, but it’s just because I don’t wanna share everything going on in my life right now. Just know that it’s not a life or death matter, and I’m putting my mental health first so that I can get passed these bumps in the road. Alrighty, this writing order isn’t going to complete itself, so I’m out. Thanks for bearing with me as you read this mess of a post, and thank you all for the kind comments I’ve received so far. Take care, everyone. Photo Credit: Pixabay.
