NINJAS

I’ve put myself through a lot this past 2 months.

Moved house.

Moved cities.

Away from my partner of a billion years.

In with a housemate. even though I don’t like people that much.

A new job.

Different social circles.

Lost 2 people in my circles to suicide.

No wonder I’m a little stressed at times.

But I have things in place.

A new gym.

I walk to and from work.

I have a GP. As of yesterday.

I’m getting help in re-implementing my stress management strategies. Like not being my harshest critic ALL the time. Oh and breathing every now and then.

Look after yourselves.

With pocket ninjas.

And kind words.

Don’t be afraid of seeking someone external. Someone neutral to talk through things with. Someone who isn’t caught up in it all with you. Who is trained to give you neutral, strategic advice. Or to just be an ear. To let you know that what you think you SHOULD do actually is right. And that you CAN do it.

And if you are asking people if they’re okay, be ready that they might actually so NO. And there may be tears. It’s like that sometimes.
