As part of coping today, I'm reminding myself that work will always be there. Hence, prioritise!

thanks for thinking of me friends, obviously things are not diabolical right now or I'd be here whinging. I get on most weekdays and do a quick read, but work is super super busy so I'm not staying here long.

Re: Coping Toolbox ( what is in yours to help you cope )

Hi @Flying_Hams @greenpea ,

 

I had a pretty average morning, then I perked up in the arvo when I went for a bike ride with the kids.

 

I also had a psych session today. It was okay. Just talked about the need to find balance in life so that I don't burn out. 

Also, practised the 4-7-8 breathing technique which helps get the body out of fight/flight mode, and reduces cortisol lvls. That is, breathe in for 4 seconds, hold in for 7 seconds and breathe out for 8 seconds. Word of warning, don't do more than 4 rounds of this at a time or it may drop your blood pressure too low.

 

So that's another strategy to add to my toolkit.
