Recognizing when your crispy

Uncategorized 1 Minute

What do you mean, crispy? Im not a slice of bacon? Right?!?

A colleague used this word to describe an impending burn out. I liked it so Ive now adopted it as my new concept. And let me tell you. I feel it– just a little crispy– and I know i need to take a sec to recharge. This is what Im learning from my colleague. Proactively take charge of my mental wellness rather than reactively treat mental illness.

  • School
  • Work
  • Kids
  • Kids activities
  • Kids health & wellness
  • Family
  • House
  • Husband
  • Me

Why is “Me” at the end of the list. Why do I feel crispy before I reorganize the priorities?! Is it because Im a mom? Is it because I am a nurse? Maybe it is because Im a student?

Planner therapy~yes its a thing

What do you do to maintain your mental wellness? Safeguard yourself from getting crispy. I practice daily gratitude and plan my life. Sounds ridiculous but I cross my heart its therapeutic.

MUCH LOVE,

H

I believe in bucket-filling (a little twist on the bucket list). I want a platform to share my artform(s) that already fill my bucket. I have the degree(s). I survived the young child rearing years. I've landed the leadership dream job. It's time to fill my bucket. Focus on what lights my fire. Rebranding this blog (yet again) to meet me where I am at in this journey called life. I will share my creative writing. I will share my photography. I will share my thoughts on this crazy journey we call life. I like to keep it real. I refuse to live up to "the image". I don't use filters. What you see (read) is what you get. I hope you enjoy the read and I will try to balance what I share in a meaningful way. Ultimately, I keep this blog for me. You (my imagined audience) are an awesome bonus! Mom/ Nurse/ Harm Reduction Advocate/ Hobbiest Photographer/ Freelance writer/ (maybe) a poet {thanks to a recent writing mentor}
