i work all week and so look forward to the weekends as time off to rest, relax and enjoy myself. unfortunately today i just feel blah. i don't want to do any of the chores i need to do (except laundry which i just started).

i have had this type of morning before but i never can seem to remember how to get out of it.

i hope i don't just sleep the day away.

this is bad, but i compare myself with my sister, who i live with, who always seems to have something to do and is cheerful sometimes. i guess i am cheerful sometimes too.

i worry about my job, they seem to always have something new to teach us, i worry about being able to do it all. and i make mistakes and worry about getting in trouble, written up or even fired.

Try to welcome new things to learn. And remember we all make mistakes especially in the beginning. Try to relax with your job... I doubt you will get fired for anything. You sound like a good worker. You are there everyday and that means a lot...

I was always a little slower, but got the job done...

I can see where it would be frustrating comparing yourself to your sister. Remember you are two different people and you are both human. Human's make mistakes from time to time. And we can't be cheerful all the time.

I hope that you feel better soon Rich...

Keep posting and know we all care...

Weekends depress me for some reason too. A combination of things I suppose.

Put on some music, watch a movie or better yet, try to get out of the house. Having a schedule of things to do, even the small things helps as well.

Display,

As long as you have been posting, I do not remember you ever being written up at work.

You are castraphizing my friend.

Use mindfulness, stay in the day you are in and enjoy it. Tomorrow always takes care of itself!

Go to mindful.org and brush up on some simple skills to get you through a happier day.

A cool shower in the morning gets your senses going and wakes up the mind also. Clears all the cobwebs.

As always, you are never alone, we are here for you Display.
Peace
Trina
