Occasionally, there are days where I struggle mentally.

18 days since having a bad episode and bouncing back better since, I guess I am due for one.

I’m trying to not criticize myself for the struggle I am facing. It’s been a week of getting used to a new routine.

I’ve experienced new things, some things have changed, I’m learning how things work with the “new” me.

It can be easy to fall into the pity-party slump, and for most of my life, I have done that.

Today is just one day. Hopefully there will be more days in my life ahead of me.

Having positive energy helps.

I also know that I must be kind to myself because I indeed have experienced a lot the last 2-1/2 weeks.

Even though I had challenges throughout the day, and they were minimal in nature, It will be better.

I can only work on ending the day on a positive note and educate myself on what to do when this happens again.

It’s also a part of the learning experience about coming out of an episode or a setback.

Just as the real world happens. There is not a definite timetable for things to fall back into place.

Now I know to be kinder to myself after several years of practicing self-care that I have to be kinder to myself.

What has happened to this point today is over. I can only learn and grow from it.

For tonight, I will make the best of the day, not be critical of myself and give myself grace of all I have ben through in my life and be easy on myself.
