Thank you for the podcast recommendation btw. It’s now in my gym rotation =)

I’ve been trying to get a new job since the beginning of last year, but it’s tough out there. I did get an interview recently though, so hopefully that goes somewhere. My current job is working with SPED students in an elementary school, so while it’s very rewarding spiritually, it also takes a lot out of you. I think ignoring my work emails until they need to be looked at (like before I go in) may help.

Ooo, I LOVE hot yoga. It made me super energetic afterward last time I did it, but after a shower I mellowed out really quick.

Why do I need to remember pee is stored in the balls?

I love that analogy lol.

I just get burnt out by trying to do everything all at once. Like my fiancé will want to get intimate or just chill with me for a bit, but because I’m so focused on tasks, I can’t relax and be with him. Like it feels like I’m on a timer to do things before I have to go to bed and go to work the next day. Getting a bit tipsy alleviates that sense of urgency.

Mm, that’s fair. I guess keeping my to-do list each evening limited to one or two things would help keep me from burning myself out while also taking care of the things on my mind.

That sounds really depressing. No, I don’t use it for that reason. A lot of it is just because my work is very stressful and it keeps me from thinking about it too much.

I’ve definitely taken to Celestial’s peach tea as a way to relieve stress lately. I guess you can never have too much (herbal) tea.

I think I drink because it makes me happier (in the moment), allows me to be more present, and lets me forget about the shitty stuff that happened during the day. I’m on antidepressants for depression and anxiety, and while those do help, I often get home and can’t sit still because I’m always thinking about what else I should be doing.
