Working full time from home, home schooling, and living in a small house is all taking its toll..
As a single mum, I get almost no downtime or headspace at all and I’m struggling ... aaargh. All day, I’m either working, trying to get the DC to do some schoolwork or negotiating bloody tech, or cooking the next meal or clearing up.
My ‘free’ time is basically me slumping in front of the tv when I finally get downstairs about 9pm, slurping a couple of glasses of wine (or more) then up to bed about 11pm. My son gets up at 6, and I’m then on repeat.
I’m too tired to do any exercise and unsurprisingly I feel lethargic, fed up and knackered! Feel like I get no head space which is what I’m craving, and to feel better generally.
Anyone got any tips for motivating myself? I’ve never been good at this.
In my head, this could all be a great opportunity to ‘improve’ myself, get fitter, learn something interesting online - but the reality is I’m doing none of these things!!
