Tuesday have been set aside to be my day off, so a Tuesday in the week of me sometimes is really interesting, but others consist of me eating an entire package of the cheapest biscuits (which are chocolate chip cookies in my case) sold at Tesco (Kroger equivalent) watching old Friends episodes and not changing out of my pajamas until just before Zoe gets home (that way I don’t look like a complete bum). At orientation they had an entire day dedicated to talking about self-care. Encouraging us to take time to do what we need to for ourselves. It’s so true that in the YAV year it can be easy to not take any time for yourself. At the beginning of the year and still very often now, I offer my day off as an option to fit in some extra work or catch up on some I’ve fallen behind on. I hear myself offer it as a day I can fill with meetings and tasks but really it’s a day I enjoy to be filled with nothing. Tuesdays allow me to relax, not have anyone expecting me anywhere, a day to just be. Lately I’ve been using them to read some books and dive into a different world. In the future I would like to use them to attempt a longer run as I begin training to do some more endurance running. Tune in tomorrow for my jam packed busy Wednesday =)
Good self care!!!
