| Gray Day Even the sky was overcast. It was actually a very productive morning, but when the kids and hubby came home, I felt frozen, stuck. The urge to eat was strong. I wasn't hungry, though -- just stuck, brain dead. So, I went for a walk. I may have been gone for only 10 minutes, but I felt a world better. |

| Mine! I often feel I belong to everybody but me. No one is taking advantage, per se, I've just defined that it was okay. It's not anymore. Mornings until 10:30 are mine. Mine to exercise, prep for meals or menus, chores, blog, shower, get ready for the day -- things that make me healthier. |
This is a wonderful series. You make some great realizations.
ReplyDeleteThank you... it's getting me to wake up, so-to-speak.
DeleteI was the same way on Sunday. Brain dead, overwhelmed, frozen by all I *had* to do...so my girls and I got out and walked for about 15 minutes. It was just the kick I needed to get through Sunday evening and all the coming-week-prep it involves.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a SAHM (oh how I miss those days!!), noon to 2pm was MY TIME. I often took a nap, read a book, or just did whatever I wanted during that time. I figured since my job was 24/7, I deserved a little downtime and the middle of the afternoon was the perfect time for it. Having that time just for YOU will do wonders for the rest of the day. :)
...a NAP... I always forget to take those. Even 5 minutes of getting horizontal and concentrating on deep breathing helps -- I must put it on my to-do list because, somehow, dragging across the floor in a stupor isn't reminder enough.
DeleteI love these! I get so bogged down by it all too, it's like being dropped in wet cement. I'm with ya!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kyra! I like the wet-cement analogy.
DeleteI definitely need to take my time back!! Keep Focused!
