Engineering Mavis: Festive Guide to Self-Love

Good morning Precious,

The festive season is fast approaching and this is the time of the year where all the craziness happens. Our guards are all the way down, because Christmas is in the air. The mood is jolly, and so are we. We have half way forgotten how tough the year was and are in desperate need of a holiday, the best part is… it is almost holiday o’ clock. Which means our morals and all the work we put into working on ourselves this year, are not at the centre of our thinking, because that would spoil the fun. Self-care does not have to be a drag and filled with amazing bath salts, it can simply be in making wise decisions this festive, and not have to find yourself picking up pieces come Jan_You_Worry.

Engineering Mavis: Self-Love gone rogue

This week was harder than most. There is something about finding yourself buried deep in a cascade of work that makes one vulnerable. I am not entirely certain what it is about having tonnes of work that needs to be done that makes one feel like just stopping in the midst of it to lean on someone and get a hug to make it all feel better, the need to offload after a long day and vent to someone. The need to want someone to text you mid-day and ask whether you had something to eat, because they know the work load is so much that you will forget to eat.
