Should be sleeping!!!

It is 10:40 and I need to go back to work tomorrow after a week off, I know I should be asleep, but my brain will not shut off!!

Today was 45 days for me, and I spent the day resting and not doing much after very busy few days. Lots of stress at work right now and around 1:00 this afternoon I started to get that anxious feeling about going back.

Then I spent some time reflecting on how to move beyond the issues and get everyone on board, sometimes being in charge stinks.

Ok, I am going to bed and will be reflecting on o e of the principles from the WFS group: Problems bother me only to the extent I permit them to. -I now better understand my problems and do not permit them to overwhelm me.

I am going to keep repeating that until I fall asleep, or perhaps I will count sheep. I know one thing for sure, I will not fall asleep if I do not get off of my iPad!!!!

Hope everyone is well.

Hi Delilah. Hope you got some sleep. Yep, the iPad won't help. I hope you have the brightness turned way down?

Good luck with your team motivation issue this week. I'm in a similar position as they have announced a new structure in our department.

That's normal anxiety....we all hate the day before return to work especially after a good break.

Congrats on sticking to the plan when on leave....is an easy time to fall back into the traps.

Same thing happened to me, Delilah. I think as stated above, it is normal to feel these things. It is frustrating, nonetheless, to try to "will" yourself to sleep and it doesn't work!

Hi Delilah . If you weren't able to sleep, hopefully you will really crash tonight. That's what usually happens with me, make up for it the next night. WFS really has some great stuff to add to the toolbox doesn't it? Good work on your sober time, maybe the day will be easier than expected...best wishes to you!

The day turned out to be a good one, went to yoga tonight and here I am again!!! I am going to read for a little bit and then it is bedtime for me.

I am glad I am in good company though, hope we all get some sleep tonight!!!
