Wow, my first day jobless. When I woke up I thought it was Saturday. It threw me at first and I honestly was a little lost and didn’t know what to do with myself for the day!
I ate a good breakfast and had black beans and rice soup for lunch, but did also get a little bad of plantain chips to go with it. Those stupid chips as the bane of my existence right now! But I suppose it is keeping me sugar and flour free.
I ended up napping for most of the afternoon. I’m sure I needed to catch up on some sleep, but I think part of it was just avoiding making a plan on what I need to do and just REALLY wanting/needing a bit of a break.
I got up just in time for training calls in the evening and that kept me occupied for the rest of the day.
It was a very blah, odd day but I did ok with my eating and didn’t break down. Feeling a bit out of sorts and empty with the shift away from having a normal day job to being able to focus my attention on my other pursuits. I think I got around my normal stress cravings by sleeping most of the day, but I need to sort through it all because I don’t want to sleep all day tomorrow!
Any tips on your best tactic for dealing with the emotions of big changes or stressful situations?
