It’s an okay weekend

My weekend, on a 10-point scale, has been a 3. I was definitely in avoidant mode, spending the majority of my Saturday and Sunday either napping or playing video games. None of these things are going to set me up for a successful workweek.

My mood, however, is still a 7. I’m not freaking out that I haven’t done my errands. I am certainly not beating myself up over it. This means that I am coming into the workweek in a neutral mood, which should improve my chances of turning things around.

This is worth celebrating. As I said before, I used to flog myself for even the slightest failures. It took me until recently to understand that doesn’t help.

However, I should be more worried that I haven’t fulfilled my obligations. In the absence of self-flagellation, I will have to come up with another way to pressure myself to do the things I need to do.
