Back to work
Time to get myself prepared for when I go back to work. After nearly
2 weeks off, I’ll be going back to hectic stressful days and I know
getting an ABC together for that first day back will help. I’ve a
pretty good idea how I’ll be feeling next Monday morning….
A Back to work today and I feel pretty depressed 
B Same old grind, same old routine - and no doubt loads to catch up
on. Won’t be time to take a break, phone won’t stop ringing all
morning, I feel sick at the thought of it. I’ve got knots in my
stomach, shortness of breath, can’t work out a plan for the day. I
need to get myself calmed down here. Only one thing for it
C … I’ll smoke
New B’s Maybe it is the same old routine… but I do quite enjoy my
job - its just the post holiday blues. There’s only so many hours in
the day, I can only do a finite amount - I’ll prioritise what’s to be
done, and deal with the urgent stuff. I’ll take some lunch with me
and some healthy snacks plus some fruit juice. I’ll make sure I take
at least 30mins break over the lunch hour, whatever’s going on in the
office. In the past a smoke might have ‘calmed me down’ before i
faced the day, but this doesn’t fit in with my foundation statement.
Instead, I’ll have some breakfast and jot down some ideas on how I’m
going to structure the day.
New C’s Breakfast, list making and preparing lunch and snacks to
take with me to work
I’ll let you know how it goes
