browngirlFirst of all: *big hugs* to those who sent me encouragement this morning. Thank you, all of you! You rock. *beam*
Let's see how long this gets. I'm typing as fast as I can before I have to do something else.
I dislike being in a bad mood. Not just because, hey, who doesn't want to be happy, but also because my primary goal is to be good for people around me, and grumpiness interferes with that. Grumpiness makes me want to snap at people, it makes me want to cry and need to be taken care of. I don't want to be grumpy. I want to produce emotional resources, not consume them.
So, how to alleviate grumpiness as much as I can? I'm seeing more and more that I need to take better care of myself, which involves bits of being selfish; frex, even though I *want* to go out this weekend and make sure my friends' events have attendees, I probably won't, because I should rest.
It also is going to involve being disciplined. I think I shall need to walk more.
Bleh.
This being a grownup stuff is hard. :)
