Quarantine hair and office! Ready to get some sunshine and put the week behind me!
Howâs the work week from home? Any interesting side zoom chat gossips going on? LOL
Not really loving it, lol!! I need to be around people to draw my energy. So hard to focus and concentrate for me especially without meds and booze!
I hear you! Itâs very hard for me to focus working from home too. I have some freedom to go back and forth as a real estate agent which is nice. What do you do for work?
I work for a healthcare research company. Great job; itâs just that my character defects of anxiety kick in real hard sometimes. Have distractions from kids, but thatâs good and bad sometimes!
There is a really cool app called âInsight timerâ. Iâm not sure if meditation is your thing because it really isnât mine but I have been giving it a try and it has been really great for me. Itâs got 5 minute guided meditation audios which has been great for centering myself and mindfulness exercising. Itâs super relaxing and helps with the anxiety and âdistraction mindâ. Theyâve got some for focus which are great. Consider it! Keep some tea on your desk for that extra ease of mind. Little things can make all of the difference. Aromatherapy oils may help too. You canât change the environment for now but you can certainly alter it in little ways by shifting the focus a little bit. I canât wait til this is over and we can get back to our crazy lives! lol
Thatâs awesome thanks so much!! I think itâs totally whatâs been at the root of my addiction since I was a kid. - just canât get comfortable in my own skin. I do like the idea of mindfulness and meditation; just donât put it into action like I should. Iâm gonna give yours a try. Iâve been listening to an interesting podcast - unf*ck your mind. Itâs geared more towards women but she goes straight on with topics like thisđ
Sorry itâs: unf*ck Your Brain, Kara Loewentheil.
Iâm always looking for a good personal development podcast! Thank you Rickey. We only change for the better when we get unconventional and uncomfortable. I hope working from home gets better on your sober journey.
Great chatting with you and I hope you have a great weekend!!
