This summer has really been about resting, reflecting, and working on recovery.
I've been putting myself first, detaching from my sister's issues, and really enjoying each day. I've added a few peaceful routines, too.
As I start to think a little about the upcoming school year, I will have many new changes. I don't want to overwhelm myself and have to be flexible in my job all of the time. ME time will be so important since most of my day will be with others.
I found that I either try to give 100% in everything and burn out fast or work becomes my sole focus. I don't want that either.
I'm getting anxious and nervous about losing the peace I've found this summer.
I know I can only take things one day at a time, but I have to be prepared for the unexpected, too. Planning is one of the most important parts of my job. I can't just walk in and see what happens, although sometimes the plans are changed on a dime.
So, back to my original title...what do you do to keep your recovery first?
Maybe I'll have to schedule appointments with myself.
