I’ve got a busy day today. It’s actually what used to be a normally scheduled day but I will bill more hours today than I did for either of the two weeks since I returned to work. This was not the plan but as you may recall, I had major cancellations during those weeks.
I am happy to report that despite my busy day, I started it off with 20 minutes of meditation, a glass of green tea, a 30 minute long walk around the neighborhood, and a fruit/nut bar that I made that contains 2 tablespoons of flax seed meal. I realized that just by scheduling myself so that my first patient is not until 9:30, allows me a lot of time to get self care stuff done without having to get up at the crack of dawn. I am much more of a morning person, too so this plan works better for me than waiting until after dinner time. By then, my natural inclination is to sit on my butt.
I did some testing this morning with a cutie pie of a 6 year-old. I haven’t done any testing for about 7 weeks and it was fun. I’m home now for lunch and perhaps a short nap before heading back to the office at 3pm to see a couple of kids for therapy. Tomorrow I have a lighter day and then I’m off for the rest of the week.
Sounds so good.
I’m glad you’re putting yourself, first. It’s so easy to get distracted by our other obligations. 🙂
