It’s been a little while since my last post and things are definitely starting to look a little better. I’m still just taking each day as it comes and some days are still easier than others. But I do know that keeping focussed and staying as busy as I can helps.
The one area where I’ve struggled a bit recently is actually at work, nothing awful just that feeling that sometimes I’m a spare part and that I’m not needed. I’m not a needy person by nature but when it appears that everyone is else doing something and even though you are also doing something people may think that you are doing nothing. But with this I do reflect on my practice a lot more than usual and I do know that deep down I am making some level of difference to the children. I still feel that because I’m not loud people presume I’m not doing my job. I’m not looking for super praise or anyone to tell me that I am needed it’s just me getting my feelings out before they come out in the wrong way.
Reflecting on not only work practices but also home life is vital to breaking down thought processes.
As always stay safe and look after each other
