on my off week is really going to be tough- I'm dreading it.
Thanks BJ for your thoughts, as to your post above, I have found that the 'dreading' portion of things is often worse than how you find you feel after something finally occurs.
So, knowing that, it may be easier to remove some of the dread. When you feel that way, think of the thought chain that's caused that emotion then, change that thought train!
Acknowledge that you will be sad, but you won't be devestated. you will get past it, as it's temporary, not permanent feelings, or situation. Things may be 'different' but that does not mean they will be 'bad'
Take care!
