This title pretty much explains both the weather, and my mood today. It’s gross outside, and the walk to and from preschool drop off and pick up was enough outside time for me. But being trapped inside all day makes me feel as gross as the weather. I studied, which is productive, but still makes me feel blah. Also studying meant the kids at home got to spend too much time watching TV. Which makes them grumpy and high strung too.
On days like this all I can do is fall back on things I know will be good for me even if I don’t feel like doing them:
1. Eating 3 balanced meals.
2. Doing my daily chores – laundry, dishes, tidy kitchen, and a quick tidy of the bedrooms and or living areas.
3. Making sure to do basic self care (getting dressed, brushing teeth etc),
4. Drink water
5. Find 3 things to be grateful for.
I’m grateful for this blog; it helps me get through difficult days, just by getting thoughts out of my head. I’m grateful for the beautiful fall weather we’ve had up to now, it really does make life easier. I’m grateful for my morning cup of tea, it’s something I can rely on every morning regardless of my mood, or what the day has in store. I’ve done all these things so I can know that I’ve played my part for today, and now it’s ok for me to do whatever it takes just to get through until tomorrow.
