ah ha!

and as soon as I published the first blog the dawning realization began. Self care. As a counsellor in training, we are very good about ensuring that our clients take time out for self care, and yet that is something I seem to struggle with and not because of a denial that it needs to occur and not as a result of martyrdom, simply as a result of no energy. i have been under an insane amount of stress this week. I had a final for which I had no idea how to prepare, and so i went nuts iwth the studying and then after that I had to write proposal one of my thesis, the lit review, not fun. It had to be in by midnight last night. Then I had to drive for a field trip, had to go to an all day dance competition today which meant I had to be on top of practicing this week and I had a few more irons in the fire that didnt pan out but were expected to and some last minute things crop up that of course had to be dealt with............good and bad.

So its boiling down to self care. I know I need to engage in some. I brought my camera to the dance competition today, hoping I might find an outlet there. instead I got lost, had a daughter throwing up as we drove in and had a son who almost didnt make it in time to dance. Anohter stressful day. and now I just want someone to take care of me right now. I know it needs to happne the self care part, but I have no energy to do and so I wish i had someone around right now to help me...........

self care...............must find a way to ensure it happens.............
