Had stress-workshop - only three people turned up
But was helpful I think!
Helped point out bad habits I have with approaching work/situations, and another pointer to do some exercise. So might look into that more...! One person said he'd found starting squash this year had helped him lots with stress/work.
Some good mindfulness/stress management exercises, which were really calming, and also a bit on sleep hygiene (I think...)
Overall helpful
Though also reminded me/made me think back to the counselling session/difficult-er questions near the end of that. Probably need to question them more myself, and maybe be more honest next time/just say what I'm thinking.
Managed to get a fair amount of work done this morning, too! Plus spoke to tutor, and he thought I was doing okay, so I think that that's encouraging
Think I *manage*, but struggle a lot when feeling down. I don't know
I'm not sure if he knows about my most recent assignments!
But yes, encouraging
(Think positive, duck!)
Overall feeling really pretty good the last few days - in terms of feeling *down*. Been upset/worrying an ish amount, but not felt particularly down that much, which is good
Might not post so often this weekend, not sure yet - might try and get lots of work done, and just focus on making progress while I'm still not feeling rubbish
Long rambl-y post again
OH! And also fed the ducks after the workshop
Was good
Some of them fight though
There was the same one there though that ate from my hand
Feels odd though feeding them in the day time
People walking past/judging, though generally just try to ignore!
Hope everyone's doing okay
OH AND ONE MORE THING (Sorry
) I'm trying to decide whether to message an acquaintance/friend, saw her quite a few weeks ago looking quite sad/down - smiled to say hello, and then went back to a sadface, and it's been playing on my mind whether to check if she's okay/not. But maybe it's too late now to ask
Example:
Not sure
Thank you lots guys
