Stuck in a rut / “languishing”

[Stuckinthemud88]

Anyone been there?

How did you get yourself out of it?

I’m emotional eating and spending too much time on my phone. Help!

Finding myself in a similar situation OP, once the daily slog is done this is me too but I just feel constantly wired, like I need to be doing SOMETHING with my time but not quite sure what I should be doing.

This is absolutely how I feel! Like I have lots of energy to give to something, I just don’t know what.

Phone is a big issue for me - I’ve been looking at my screentime stats and it’s ridiculous.

I’m trying to cut down by leaving it in my bag so I have to actually get it out to use it, and having a half hour for MN (for now). I’ve turned the screen to black and white to see if that helps.

I’d really like to get some exercise going but I’m really stuck on that.

I do try and read where I can and recently started reading more historical non fiction in an attempt to fill gaps of my knowledge in but it still seems like wasted time? (Even though I enjoy it!)
I wonder if it’s because we are so programmed to do everything for everyone else (kids and husband in my case) that we’re a bit left at sea when it comes to pursuing our own interests…like time spent on ourselves isn’t worthwhile. That being said, I’m still left floating around the rooms pointlessly when I know there’s something I could be channeling my nervous energy into!
