hypatia42I have noticed that in the past few weeks I am just doing what I can do to get by. In school and otherwise. This is not really ok with me. I did this before. I got through school and got my diploma. I even learned a whole lot. Was it as much as I could have learned or as good as my best? No. I have been changing that pattern for myself this time around. The honest part of my brain recognizes that I should have taken the summer off to recoup and let my body rest. I needed to be done though. And so I am dealing with the consequences of that decision. I will make it. Will I make it in the way that I want to? That remains to be seen.
Let it be known that I am good at what I do. I have forgotten to employ those skills while in school because we are not encouraged to use skills we already have. I was given some great advice last year that I inted to take to heart. That being, "Do what you need to do to get through school and get out, then do what you do best." What I do best is not trigger point therapy. It is caring for people. That is a much wider scope.
