Day 59: Staying Positive

Today, I bit the bullet and went into school to prepare for the dreadful Monday that is approaching too quickly. I spent a few hours making copies, planning lessons and reorganizing the classroom. Somehow, I left feeling more overwhelmed than I did when I arrived.

So, how did I decide to calm myself down and mentally prepare for going back to work? I repeated "I am excited about going back to work" repeatedly for about 10 minutes. Then, I drove quickly to the nail salon and indulged in a pedicure.

I feel much better, and I'm loving the new nail polish I'm rocking!
