Feeling in a very different place, can't thank my counsellor enough for the changes to my mindset she's encouraging. I only have 2 sessions left, will have to think how I can thank her. Of course it's much easier to problem solve with someone else on hand as they are not flooded with the emotions that block our rational thought processes.
She's given me lots of tips and now I'm actively looking forward to this weekend and indeed might not fit all the loveliness in. I have a picnic date arranged and already started to pack up a posh picnic complete with a tiny bottle of dressing for the greek salad. It's the little thoughtful things that to me matter most.
I've also begun to reframe the redundancy finally. Instead of only keenly feeling the loss, I've started to consider some of the opportunities it will create. Instead of non stop working I might be able to declare shorter working days, and so never again have to get grumpy with one of my lovelies who always seem to ask me for something when I'm in the middle of a particular work thing. Instead I could define my work hours as only when they are at school. Or I could decide that a certain day each week is a non work day, and I could go and visit my friends in Lancaster or even Luton. If my friends are one of the most important things in my life then how about I prioritise them?
So watch this space...
