self care
i guess its time to stretch my fingers and my mind. i havent written like this in a long while. i have recently come across many social networking sights about being in the line of soical work and have been doing some reading on self care so i thought this might be a way for me to practice self care.
let me back up. lately i have been feeling very drained. i have tried exersize, diet, household improvement, talking to a coworker, alcohol, sex etc to try and get back into the swing of things but nothing seems to be working. i feel tired, stressed, irritated, and just all round like crud. i recently attended training where i made a commen about working with certain clientel can be draining, when the trainer said, it sounds like you are compassonately exhausted. Then i started to see more informaton about self care and it seemed to all fall into place. so nice how God shows us the way although we dont even know how to ask for it
So i think this will be my form of self care. i will write here. i hop this will help me to learn to relax again.
