THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Your value doesn't decrease based on someone's inability to see your WORTH
I stretched myself to the max these past few weeks. The holidays are upon us and I accepted a new responsibility that is stretching me to the max. This week I missed 2 days of exercising. Work is hitting frenzy with the multiple teachers tugging at my time. Something gave today. I didn't finish a task. It impacted someone else. Instead of sinking into despair and turning on myself, I thought about all the other things I was asked to do instead. There were several other projects that demanded my attention and I misunderstood when the task needed to be done. I am partially deaf and wear hearing aides. Occasionally, (read that as more often than I like) I get only part of the message. I also didn't write down the specifics and clarify the information in writing. I caught myself awfulizing and making quantum leaps from I made a mistake to I am a terrible and irresponsible person. I made a mistake full stop. With people tugging at my time, I need to have a visual list instead of just a mental one so that when they throw me a new demand I can ask them to look over the list and decide where it goes in the priority. I worked out tonight and feel so much better than I have felt in days.

I like that idea of having the list and asking where the priority fits. I'm making one of those, today.
