My get up and go has got up and gone

How do you get yourself out of a funk?
today I’m feeling very “meh” I had big plans to get up, gut the house and have a productive day. In reality I woke up at 10, I’m still not showered or dressed and I just really can’t be bothered to do much of anything.
the washing pile is sitting looking at me judging and I just need to get my finger out but there’s no convincing myself to do anything worth while!

Little steps, little goals. Start with a shower because once you're up and about you might feel more motivated to do the next time, even if the next thing is make a cup of tea.

Surrender to it! It’ll all still be there tomorrow. I felt exactly the same yesterday and gave in. Today I’ve been feeling much more motivated. My period also arrived so that explains alot. Our hormones have a lot to answer for. Maybe yours are telling you to have a rest day! Or even in just a few hours your mojo will return. I hate the heaviness of being in a funk but have learnt that acceptance is the quickest way through it and moods are like clouds. Your blue sky is under there somewhere.

Write yourself a list

  • put washing on
  • shower
  • dry hair if washing
  • watch TV or go out for a walk or whatever fun rhing
  • do one small productive thing
  • fun thing

That’s all you need to do. If really struggling drop the productive stuff.

And put on music or a podcast while you’re doing it.

Oh and if you’re having a house day, get washed and put on clean PJs.

Get the washing on. The washing machine and/or tumble dryer do all the hard work.

I have a rule .. three things. Put a wash on, clean one room/area, do something nice for me! Anything else is a bonus. ☺️

The washing will have to wait, but tomorrow my washing machine isn’t going to know what’s going on😂 I won’t have the choice to not do it tomorrow I have work uniform I need done for Thursday!

if I come across all these missing mojos I’ll be sure to give them a stern talking to and send them home to you all. 😂
