Song of the day : Little wing.

Jimi Hendrix.

This is one of my favourite songs. And no one does this song like Jimi.

I am really struggling with my stress levels at the moment, and I am recognising counter-productive behaviours. Irritation, apathy, exhaustion, depression. Procrastination, negative self talk, lack of focus, fretting (generally disjointedly and without a resolution), distraction, despair, inefficient and nonsensical "coping" strategies like eating all the chocolate I can get my hands on. Taking things personally when I shouldn't, when I know better, when to do so would be to subscribe to a different version of reality - one where leaky walls have hostile agendas. Its all there, the stuff I do in reaction to stress, which ultimately increases my stress levels. I am hoping acknowledgement is the first step.

"Fly on little wing, "
