I am a weird mix of Type-A-Type-Bness.
I was raised to function as an A-Type. But in reality? I'm a B. Laid-back, spontaneous, needs less scheduled time and more free time.
Which has not been happening lately.
Which is why I'm so stressed out.
Which is why I'm going to be organized about my inevitable meltdown.
I'm preparing a "Fall Apart Box".
Everything I need to fall apart and recoup over a weekend will be contained in a box I can yank out when I need it.
Trying to put one together with as many different ways of expression as possible.
these are my ideas so far:
some good movies (that I will cry over when watching)
a good book
some hot cocoa packets (I find it impossible to frown whilst sipping chocolate)
a mixed CD I can play while lying on the bed (or the floor)
a comfort object (teddy bear? owl? ...another book?)
a few bucks to buy something fun -- like a pair of earrings (or to go see a movie)
kleenex/handkerchiefs
an art project and materials (from my Art Therapy board on Pinterest)
Bible verses on index cards
my Secrets Notebook
Any other good ideas?
And yes, I know. It will probably take longer than a weekend. But that's all the time I've got.
