The Scribbler 17 Jan 8:43am, 17 Jan 2020 4675 posts	The Scribbler Self medicated with chocolate. Yoga this evening. I've been feeling my mood dipping this week, and after another boring and frustrating day at work, a tiny bit of criticism over the way I'd done something at tea time was enough to tip me over. Tears, frustration and fighting the negative self talk. I know I am enough and self validation is all I really need, but jeez, it would be nice to hear something positive, even just a 'thank you' or a 'that's good'. But my upset thinking has proved that my work does matter to me and I need to find ways to shine through words. Oh and still no one in my family has called me (I've called them). Seems we do everything via WhatsApp these days and I don't have a cute kid or dog to post pics of.
halfpint 17 Jan 8:51am, 17 Jan 2020 29844 posts	halfpint I find this time of year usually sees a huge dip in my mood/energy/motivation Scribbler. All the more need for some self care. Today I’m hoping to use some flexi to work a shorter day. Taking time to eat breakfast (and shout at some twat on BBC breakfast campaigning for Big Ben to bong as we leave the EU) before starting work.
The Scribbler 17 Jan 8:57am, 17 Jan 2020 4676 posts	The Scribbler Yes I have generally felt a dip in January most years too. I was just congratulating myself on riding it out a bit better than previously. At least I sort of felt this coming. And I'm shouting at the bongs too.
