I've got into a complete rut and am looking for advice and snippets from people who have found themselves in this situation but have managed to do something about it. I work really long hours in a stressful job (from home at the moment) and feel I'm saving my energy for work and not for my own time.
The thing is, I do have some leisure time in the evenings but can't ever quite get round to getting up and doing the things I know bring me joy or make me feel better, like yoga, or reading, or a tv programme I enjoy. Instead I surf the web for hours at a time. I think the house is a mess, but cannot be bothered to get up and tidy it.
Eating is similar. We have a well stocked fridge, loads of healthy thing growing outside, but I choose to make a crappy cheese sandwich with the kids' cheese and white bread.
Has anyone else felt this way and what techniques have you used to get out of it? I'm driving myself mad and am getting to feel a bit depressed. I've cried a few times today. It's so bloody obvious i just need to put my phone down and get off my backside but I can't make myself. It's not lack of time, it's lack of motivation.
I do like running but haven't been for a few weeks as I've had a virus and am still a bit achey, and don't want to risk any post-viral illness.
Thanks for listening!
