Urghhh it’s that dreaded time when teachers go back after half term. I’m not ready at all, I want another 10 weeks off.

Only sometimes do I wish I went down another route that teaching, half terms spoil you.

In the mornings me and the dog always have our early morning walk before I go off to work for the day.

He’s so funny he will wake me up for sure if I’m not really for his walk!!!🤣

Not all of the time do I feel up to writing in a morning but recently finding out my mom is unwell I’m using this as a tool to manage my emotions. I’m so used to ringing her in the morning upset, crying and her listening to me…. But I don’t want to stress her out more than she needs to.

The purpose of this post is to say do things that put you out your comfort zone. I can’t bear the thought of waking up in the morning earlier than I need to but it not only….. makes me feel better it allows my dog to burn off energy before I’m at work.

We enjoy our own time together and separately on these walks. As it’s early morning I always feel my stresses from the day before come to light very quickly, just sifting through the negative to find your inner peace is hard to do when your tired.

Being out on walk opens up your mind, let’s your breathe more clearly, being around mature and it’s calmness only allows my mind to open up and think positively or trying to be anyway.

Physical exercise even though I’m walking at a snails pace so my dog can sniff and do as he pleases, it can come in many forms. Like I said most my days I teach dance so I’m very active but to get a little bit of movement in a morning can go either way for me.

Right now I’m sitting on the fence I don’t know how to feel. I want to be strong but I’ve just had enough of trying to fight through all the s**t life brings you.

Please comment if you feel the same or have any advice in staying strong? I try but sometimes it’s hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel!!!!
