I am finding my executive functioning is quite low at the moment due to quite a few challenges at the same time and the limited light. A lot of my forms of relaxation require good light for my vision to be good enough. Each week at work ( I do a maximum of 4 days) feels a challenge at the moment, so I try to celebrate a week achieved at a time.
I try to find positives in nature that is mostly on the decline at this time of year. My positive for this week is the smell of damp leaves.
Does anyone else find this time of year difficult?
I enjoy reading people's funny experiences on here, but they are sadly lacking at the moment.
I like hot chocolate either dark or white (nothing with coconut);
Walking in the sunshine wearing my bright pink gloves.
Bright colours.
Enjoy what I'm doing.
Going to a Christmas meal with the community group.
Handmade Christmas cards using recycled paper from a cheap magazine.
The spruce website is good for ideas.
A friend of mine uses the front cover of Christmas cards she's received to create handmade Christmas cards, which is a good way of recycling them. In addition, my mother will use old Christmas cards to make her own gift tags for presents.
My great aunt was so 'frugal' she would reuse (recycle) greetings cards by just scribbling out the messages people had written in them and writing her own. She'd then also reuse the envelope she'd received it in by turning it inside out and writing the address on that
