I was going to do ticks and crosses but ya know? Given how this month has played out I'm gonna generally just talk about it because... What a hellish month /falls over.
Work was super intense all month and I was reaching meltdown point but on a positive note? I did talk to my boss about it (something I'm bad at doing) and not only has she offered more support and understanding but she also gave me a pay rise, which was nice!
Despite how crazy things got, I did get through it and I did step back when I could feel myself getting frustrated or pissed off about things which to me is another win.
Healthwise? Man I need to get better at juggling a really busy schedule with taking care of myself. I worked back late or skipped lunch far too often and I was coming home and feeling like a zombie which is good for nobody. While I didn't eat terribly I also am not getting the exercise I need, and a big thing I'd like to focus on is improving my health and fitness moving forward.
On a positive note, I did find setting aside time to do something constructive around the house every day, no matter how wrecked I felt, really made a difference. Instead of having a heap to do on the weekends it wasn't so bad and things are cleaner and more organized than they were. No deep cleaning achieved BUT, it's a lot better.
KoK made a HUGE difference to me keeping up with tags. Even those small goals of 5 a day during the work week and 10 a day on weekends helped a lot. I didn't achieve those goals every day, but then others I absolutely smashed them. It helped to keep me from becoming overwhelmed so that RP could continue to be fun instead of another stressor.
I did do some financially responsible things, like set up regular payments for all my bills so that I could get ahead. Haven't seen the payoff from that yet but I'm sure I'll be grateful in the coming months.
It wasn't a great month but it wasn't bad either. A mix of good and bad but it's helped me identify changes I need to make and in a lot of ways I'm just grateful I survived June!
Oh, AND! I checked in every day!!! I think that helped a lot with getting through the hellish days.
