Where did my mojo go?

[TheChosenTwo]

I’m at a bit of a low ebb. I’m alright, just can’t seem to get up and moving these last few days. Maybe weeks.
I’m home for the summer holidays which has been nice but no actual ‘holiday’ to go on which usually breaks up the time.
I’m just sat here looking around thinking that I really need to do a few things (cupboard of crap needs sorting through for one thing) and I’m not moving to do it.
Could go for a walk but no one would want to come and then I’d feel guilty that I was leaving them at home alone again. Plus I can’t really be arsed to even get up and dressed and go for a walk.
Just feeling a bit… I don’t even know!!!
Anyone else feeling like this? Anyone else cured themselves of feeling like this?!

I feel like this every now and again. I get days where I can tackle anything and then weeks where I don’t want to do a thing.

Currently I have a list of things to power through and if I make a start today I could probably complete 70% of the list. But I can’t be bothered. I’m mentally tired.

Good to know I’m not alone @GhostRyder

• I think I just need to let myself do fuck all but there’s always guilt. I manage to wash myself, brush my teeth, feed whichever kids need feeding etc but literally the bare minimum before I feel like I’m done and then sit and do nothing.

Think I’m going to hide my phone from myself for a couple of hours at least, then I might at least be inclined to read a book or even tidy up a drawer.

@TheChosenTwo Allow yourself to do nothing and don’t feel guilty about it. Life is too short

I took the kids swimming. It was nice to get them out even though I really couldn’t be arsed to begin with.
And I’m now obviously left with a mountain of soggy things.
But it’s done now. I’m going to work out what to do for dinner and then probably nip back out to the gym.

Take up yoga. Just do some YouTube 10 min videos. You will honestly feel much better.

Why would you feel guilty?

@SparklingLime probably because they’d just be sitting on their tech/screens alone!

What would they be doing if you stayed in?

Op i feel like this all the time!! I’ve had the whole summer off work, i should feel energised but i just don’t! I think my diet has a lot to do with it. When i Eat well I’m better

Maybe you’re being too hard on yourself? What have you do e in the past few days?

At the moment one is playing with Lego,
One has gone to the shop to buy rosemary and make bread and one is in the garden sitting with the animals.
I think once you’ve actually done something you do feel a bit more productive!
If I’d have gone out and left them to it they’d all be on their devices. And I have no issue with them spending time on them, they don’t have limits other than leaving them with me in the evenings, I just like us to get out once a day (we don’t even do this every day!).
Yeah I feel better when I look after myself more.
I don’t think I’m being particularly hard on myself to be honest!!

That does sound wholesome! But need not stop you from getting out and having some time to yourself.

Very true and I usually do carve out a couple of hours here and there where I go and meet a friend for lunch or go to the gym etc without them.
I think I’m just feeling a bit flat at the minute and can’t shake myself out of it.
