Every time I try to be so motivated at work I feel like all of the obstacles and curve balls be ready for me lol… Maybe I come off desperate or something. Had a person schedule a same day appointment with me and then stand me up. :woman_facepalming:t5: All of my scheduled appointments aren’t confirming so they’ll likely become no shows. My 3:20 is running late. I can’t wait to go home and be mindless. I desperately would love a coffee but caffeine gives me anxiety so I guess I’ll just deal with the lethargy. I am going to get my nails done and oil change- 2 things I’ve been procrastinating on. Hope everyone’s day is going better than mine lol

Got my nails done today and it really made me feel better! It’s just a little indulgence but makes such a huge difference in my mental state. I don’t understand why exactly but I’m not going to overthink it. Take care of you and hang in there. And poo poo on those people for standing you up! Do you charge a cancelation fee? My husband started charging people when they don’t give 24hrs notice and his no shows went way down. Just a thought. Not sure if that’s something you can put in place going forward. But your time is valuable! You should be compensated.

Checking in. I’m tired from traveling today. I didn’t feel like going out to friends birthday thing. Sometimes it’s harder to be motivated to be social without drinking. Seems lame but I’m staying home going to bed early.

Yes, ever since I quit drinking I definitely get joy from the little things like getting my nails done. I never even tried to do stuff for myself such as that when all of my money was going towards alcohol. Now I take pride in doing my nails, keeping my hair pretty, doing my makeup, going shopping, and even down to the small basics like braiding my hair and wrapping it to protect it before bed time, washing the makeup off of my face, spraying aromatherapy scents in a sense to relax, wearing a robe and PJ’s instead of old shorts and t shirts, drinking herbal teas, praying, keeping my house clean, asking for reviews after helping a client find a home! This part of my life has been all about self love and personal care. All of the little attention to detail things I just let go every day. I’m a full blown vegan now, no more cheating! I’ve lost about 8 pounds this months. My morning smoothies, I’m hitting my sales targets, etc. And even though today wasn’t the best, one thing I actually did after all of that was something I never did before, I kept working. I was going to go get my nails done and then be mindless but I actually made a quick prayer, went back to my desk and called the rest of my leads in my email. I used to give up pretty quickly but I’m pretty sure that was a milestone. I was the only one in the office all day today, even though it felt unproductive, I’m sure I sewed a seed somewhere. I’ll get my nails done tomorrow. Thank you for listening. <3

Checking in day 80. I felt my old dark friend depression creeping up on me again. Trying to stay calm and positive. Hopefully tomorrow is a better day. The winter can be long and difficult up north.
