Baby.... (in my best NOLA voice)...this one today, I felt every bit of it. I have often been one that gets stuck in decision paralysis. I can list some details why I should and why I shouldn't.....and before you knew it I was literally in a mental and emotional impasse. I'm grateful for the book recommendation about decision making listed in today's reading. The one area that I can automate my decision making is with picking out a restaurant. I picked this one because I enjoy eating out and that level of social engagement, but I'm also the person that never picks a restaurant because I start considering others, dietary restrictions, needs, and desires! My new self-care is to pick the restaurant that I WANT To go too, without so much thought process and hesitation.
I tend to figure out what needs to get done in a week and then see how/if I can fit self-care in around that. But that leads to lots of decisions about what/how much I can fit in. I’m going to start scheduling self-care (in the same way I’ve made PT appointments a priority I can make exercise, meditation, time for eating healthy meals, time for relationships, etc. a priority) and planning around that scheduled self-care.
