This week has been challenging for me.

I've been feeling off and not quite like myself. I've noticed that in the mornings, I've been feeling anxious and rushed, even when I'm not running late.

This has affected my interactions with my kids, making me more irritable and short-tempered with them. Even during lunch with my husband, I've been impatient and wanting him to finish quickly.

Negative thoughts have been more prevalent, making me approach my son more sternly, leading to arguments.

My driving, which is usually enjoyable, has become more stressful.

However, I've learned to give myself compassion, name my emotions, and acknowledge the facts to treat myself better and work through these feelings.

I know the lessons I learned will resonate with you too... come listen in.
