*Cough*

I desperately need a mental health week. A week for meditation. A concentrated mind set to block out any stress. Being "productive" is a constant problem for me. If I am not succeeding, I'm failing. I can't see through the walls that I build when I feel as though I am not living up to the high expectations I have for myself. My body told me I needed a break in the form of a heart arrhythmia. I spent all day in bed trying not to scare myself in to a full blown anxiety attack. I have had them before, usually during times of great change, depression or stress.
I need time to evaluate my situation. Get out of my routine and try new things. Giving yourself permission to regroup is so important. I hope I learn something during this time alloted.
