DECOMPRESS

M. Need to decompress

C. Go for it. What’s on your mind?

M. Feeling a bit better today. Feeling a bit more energized.

C. That’s great to hear

M. Slept better

C. Excellent

M. I also did a very good job on my diet and I even did a short strength training workout.

C. That’s very good. Way to go.

M. Thanks.

C. What else is on your mind?

M. I have been procrastinating work the last week or so because I’ve been so fatigued.

C. Go on

M. Today, I finally worked on a key project

C. That’s good to hear

M. I spent the better part of the morning working on this

C. Good. How did it go?

M. I made good progress, but it’s another one of those projects that the more you do the more you need to do. Plus, it takes a lot of attention to detail and a high level of concentration.

C. Go on

M. While I enjoy working on this and I have expertise, it’s a bit stressful

C. Why is that?

M. Because it’s very time consuming and I’m a perfectionist.

C. Want my advice?

M. Please

C. Just nibble at it. You made good progress this morning. My advice is that you get out of the house, drive to the spot, and pencil out what else needs to get done. But, first make lunch. You’re lack of eating could be negatively impacting your energy level. Go make a healthy salad and we can continue the conversation later.

M. Okay. Thanks.
