..no, let me rephrase, on a blog diet.
im on a self-imposed blog diet, so not to sleep late, and be able to get on with work (healthily and not groggily), i have decided that until christmas (time-framed too,lol), i am not supposed to hang around my blogs too long.
im currently working at a resource centre and working for patients with mental illnesses, and one of the things i have learned is a good work-life balance to get a healthier outlook in life. i've noticed the more "online" i am, the less 'living' i do. (i was never good with balance). so i had to cut some 'online pursuits' for the more real-life pursuits that i need to concentrate on, because i'm not too tired.
and truth be told, i was really struggling to concentrate with work and give myself emotionally to my patients as everytime we do some assessments, its either i'm stressed, tired or feeling ill (not a good feeling when you're listening to horrendous stories from patients).
and, preparing the house for guests that will be coming here to stay with us for the christmas period is also top priority thus apart from being a worker, a student, a wife,and a DIY-master-wannabe, i have my hands full.
too full, i need new bags! (butthatsanotherstory).
**
my supervisor said, im doing my own therapy (work-life-balance is a big OT topic) on my self.
i really am challenging myself if i could rely on staying as less time on my blogs as possible.
hmmnn, lets see if it works.

PS: i love my current placement too: i have patients who are from different backgrounds: one's a high profile tv celebrity, a singer (who's album is an itunes hit), one who was nominated for a pulitzer prize and some people who do ordinary day-today jobs like we do.
its an exciting place to work in, yet needs 100 percent of my focus and attention, distractions are to be avoided.
but i promise to catch up with you every week, at least...x
love,

Well miss you, it is nice to have you around always. But you are right, blogging can take some time. It makes time flies so fast.
Ayaw palabi sa diet ky wla na nuo ko e-stalk. LOL
it is such a blessing to love what you do! <3
i like when you said, "the more online i am, the less living i do"
we are on that same page right now.
it is lovely to write about life and our experiences but not if it encroaches on time for family and work and life itself.
thanks for sharing Chel!
