Turn it off and turn it back on again

So I am having a bad brain day. The weather is gross, I didn't sleep great last night. There is a spot right under my nose that is raw from all the tissues I have gone through. None of those things by themselves are overwhelming but adding them on to helping my in-laws out while my FIL recovers from surgery and this weird work month have just overwhelmed me today.
So I am first recognizing that this is valid. I said that the work situation is something that I can only do short-term and this is why. I am exhausted and I am not able to get everything done as quickly as I normally would. It is hard and it sucks and that is okay.
I am also reminding myself that my best looks different on different days. Yesterday I led a 100 person meeting. Today I am just trying to get through my daily/weekly work tasks. THAT IS OKAY.
But I am now on the tricking my brain into thinking things are different stage. I lit a candle cause smells and fire. I put in earrings. And I have decide what I am having for lunch so I have something to look forward to (tuna on triscuits and cucumber with ranch dip). Lets hope this gives me enough steam to get through today.
Also very glad that yesterday Veronica already decided on dinner for tonight.
