Smoke a lil weed. My outlook is 1000000x better after a hard day when I take a hit or two.

Something yummy (but healthy!) for dinner, a warm bath (bonus points for bubbles!), and early to bed on clean, fresh sheets. I always feel better when I sleep on clean sheets. If it’s chilly where you are, throw your bed pillows in the dryer to warm them up and then stuff then under the top sheet of your bed for a few minutes to get your bed all cozy before you get in.

Nice dinner
Warm bath
Herbal tea
Massage. Even if I can’t go to a spa, I try to massage my own feet/legs before bed.
Chat with friends
Watch funny things on YouTube
Headspace / Calm meditation (it definitely helps me a lot but some days are just hard to get through even with it)
I also started taking CBD (no THC) gummies to help with sleep and stress.

^^ Since I became a mom and essentially working a “double shift” constantly (wine is out since I can’t afford to be tipsy or dehydrated; anyway down time from work is spent on baby and any escape from baby is spent working), the nice dinner (take out from some stupidly expensive but healthy), good tea, bath and giving myself a foot/leg rub are my favorite things!

I had a similar day. Went out for drinks with a friend. Now instead of studying for the GMAT I’m at home eating Halloween candy alone and trying not to just throw in the towel and roll off my project. My SMs are making me livid and I want nothing more than to email them that I’m done.

I’ve observed that I have a need for control and when I am feeling a lack of it, I turn to my relationship to unfairly expect to be able to control my partner - expecting to spend more time together and have regularly structured plans. He is one of the kindest people I have ever known, and I can see how it takes a toll on him. I think subconsciously knowing that he is susceptible to it enables me to use it as an outlet. I’m not blaming him at all, I’m commenting on the dynamics I observe
