I stayed home from work yesterday and slept reasonably well. I'm feeling pretty good right now.
I had hoped to finish the fish oil chapter and maybe even the chapter on not ruminating, but I got caught up watching the news about the school shooting yesterday. That would be doubly a waste of time. First, I failed to do the self-care I had planned (reading the book). Second, I was focused on something distressing.
Which brings up a different topic: I spend a lot of time following news stories that are emotionally draining and distressing. Maybe I need to add limiting time on that to my wellness planning. It may actually fall under the not ruminating rule in a way.
