When your last nerve gets stepped on, it is a sign that you need a little extra TLC.
Let us not just focus on the nerves people get on but on how we refill our emotional reserves.
Deep breaths, a good laugh, and self-kindness go a long way!
I am now so mad!
“I am now so angry, I can breastfeed a crocodile!” ⠀
#socialworkers also get mad. When you are so mad, even nature’s food chain needs to watch out! 🐊🍼, what do you do to manage your anger?⠀
The Anxiety of "Busy"
🌀 "I’m so busy!" 🌀 It's a phrase we, as social workers, hear and say a lot, often as a badge of honour... or maybe a way to cope with feeling overwhelmed. But did you know the roots of "busy" include meanings like "diligent," "careful," and even "active"? Yet, another meaning hints at anxiety - a feeling many of us know all too well.
What if we shifted our "I am" statements away from just being busy? Imagine affirming: "I am diligent." "I am focused." "I am careful with my time." These words honour our effort without feeding into the overwhelm. 🧘♀️⠀
Next time you find yourself saying, "I’m so busy!" - pause, breathe, and reframe. Your energy and care deserve recognition, not anxiety. ✨⠀
