I've been feeling down and out lately. Really down and out. I'm not sure why, but when I feel like this it's hard to kick myself in the butt and get going again. I just feel sad and empty.
I haven't gone to the gym in ages so I really haven't had any grown up conversations maybe that's why? I don't get enough sleep usually 3 hours a night for weeks on end. My hubby has been gone a week and will be gone for another week but thats normal for his line of work. I have been waiting for my gloomy mood to pass but it's looming around. We have found out some scary news about one of the twins and are waiting on medical tests to confirm results. The stress from that adds up!
I know that all of my children need me to be strong and healthy, mentally and physically. I'm the one who cares for them 90% of the time. They need me at my best and I need me to be at my best. when I don't take care of myself my cup is empty and then I have nothing to give. Since can't keep going like this....
I guess it's time to pick myself up, brush myself off and carry on.
Here's my plan to shake the blues
Return to the gym 3x per week
Find a way to get at least 5 hours of sleep a night, I think this plays a huge part in my lack of energy and lack of zest for life.
Have an additional one hour of me time a week, even if I have to hire a sitter.
Hopefully I'm feeling like my old self again soon!
