Day 4
Today was a good day! I got a lot of work done and I spent time with family, which, for me, can often be triggering. This time, though, I think choosing to drink less and stay present helped keep me feeling confident and in control.
This week will be a challenge. I am facing a formidably busy work week that will require a lot from me - two big presentations/workshops that I have yet to create and a bunch of other work, plus business planning stuff. I will be spending a few nights in hotels, which presents another challenge. I often PMO on the first night at a hotel. I have this little kid sense of being totally free to do whatever I want when I am traveling alone. I always pay for it the next day, as I rarely get a good night sleep.
I think this is why Mondays are often very difficult for me. On the weekend I can forget about how busy I am and I don't need to think about all that needs to be done the following week. Then, on Monday, it floods over me. I get overwhelmed. Deep down, I don't believe I have the ability to complete the tasks. Then I retreat into a long PMO session. I have done this often on Monday mornings.
I will be strong tomorrow. i will face all that I have to do, picking away at it, piece by piece. Facing the challenge, head on.
I will start the week by exercising, and I will use your advice for finding ways to distract myself.
Until tomorrow, thanks for reading!
