JT, I start the 19th. I am working at the escape rooms pretty regularly which is good but I'm blessed with the next 2 days off! I'm going to meditate daily, swim or read books at the pool, hike, go to a new meeting maybe and I even put yoga on there, let's see if I can muster the courage
feeling very anxious about returning to the OR, in fact it's kind of consuming me, so I'm trying to enjoy this time as much as possible and maybe do some positive visualization or something.
I don't have withdrawals, I'm not sick, I don't have shaky hands, I'm not trying to hide bags under my eyes or bad complexion so this should be a happy thing. But the anxiety is killing the joy. Blah. So I'm going to force myself to think positively, drink lots of lavender and kava tea, get in nature and practice breathing techniques for the next 10 days.
