Thank you both for your thoughtful replies. You words have reminded me to consider the bigger picture and what is most important. My greatest stressor has been the drive to control my future via my academic obligations and the divorce process. The most interesting thing, though is that I'm not always this stressed and overwrought. I have let my commitment to self care, meditation, and a higher level of thinking slip in the face of time pressures. There is no doubt that making those things a priority will help me greatly over the next few weeks. I guess it's time to be a little better to myself. Thanks for reminding me of that. |
