tue 4 august daily

[bear73]

Morning - quick post before work,done ten mins of breathing and 5 mins of intense cat stroking.
I'm planning to limit screen time to no more than an hour a day,I can read or do stuff instead.I realised that I use facebook to compare myself - negatively.

I have also realised that bad feelings pass,today after my breathing I feel more positive and clear headed.
Yesterday both members of staff off sick,one possibly long term - I caught up on all HR related paperwork
I also spoke to counselling line at work - helped a lot and we talked about how to support myself through all of this.

I stared worrying about potential job loss,then remembered lovely chat with my friend Sunday about holistic therapies,she has studied massage. I have always loved massage,reflexology and aromatherapy - potential idea of if i did get made redundant how feasible would it be to retrain/have a part time job to keep going/cut down on living expenses?
Could I combine it with counselling and make a living?

Anyway - much more positive bear here today and being sober is at the root of it all.
Los of love to you all - shower time.

I was a massage therapist for years....it was great side work. My wrists and hands paid the price sadly. Protect your body better then I did. I only paid like 3,500 for my certificate/training but I hear people paying 20K for school these days...to me that is CRAZY. I would sign up to get my body work and mind work done all in one apt. Good luck

Good morning bear & everyone!

We have two thread going once again but that's OK

It's good to think about future job possibilities but please don't stress yourself out about something that hasn't happened yet. You have a good quit going, focus on protecting it & keeping it going :hug:
I used to pre-worry about stuff too & all it really did was make me crazy. It really is much smarter & kinder to focus on today.

Hi Tathi!

Have a great AF day!

ahoy ABerooos!

Bear, I've been considering a different line of work myself. sometimes because I worry about this job, and other times because I'd prefer to follow
my heart. At any rate I hope there are many doors open for you and find yourself in the right place at the right time.

still recovering from cold/sick thing and a bit weak. No time for feeling sorry for myself though as it's back into hotel world tomorrow. ick!
at least it's just a couple days.

Tatahi5, nice to meet you.

head is still foggy here.... trying not to forget anything important like packing my underwear I better get some extra zzzzzz's

be well everyone
