Uninspired. It's not usually a word I use to describe myself.But, today...? This week...? Yep. Uninspired.
However, I think I'm really overwhelmed.
In my 38 years of life, I HAVE learned something about myself and that is when I'm overwhelmed, I feel underwhelmed.
Why is that? I don't know.
I think it's because I'm such a list-maker and task master, that when my list stretches beyond my capabilities (or time constraints) I tend to lose focus. That my friends, is not a good thing.
So, help a girl out. What do you do when you feel OVERWHELMED, UNDERWHELMED or UNINSPIRED?

I know exactly what you mean about being overwhelmed = uninspired (lazieness is how it manifests itself with me). Not sure what area is overwhelming you right now, but I'll use a summer example from my life. Housework -- I have a very set routine for my housework, and getting off that with summer guests or summer trips or just being out playing all day -- leaves me overwhelmed. And then I just don't know where to start and I don't want to start.
ReplyDeleteSo I do what any other good listmaker would do -- and what you probably have done -- make a list. :-) And instead of the one task I'd normally complete that day, I add another until I am back on track. Unfortunately, this summer, that has become a constant battle of being on track and then off track.
You'll get your grove back and then some! I know you!
I tend to think of a million other things I need to do instead of the task that's right in front of me BEGGING to be taken care off. So who am I to give good advice. I love thinking up new systems and implementing them - but I am sooo bad keeping them afterwards. But I know you - this is a phase - and you will be out of it in NO time - just you wait and see. =0)
ReplyDeleteNot to give you excuses but this heat sure doesn't help with motivation! I am also where you are but not doing anything productive to fix the issue... Sometimes it is a blessing and a curse to have a husband who understands and doesn't complain that Donna Reed no longer inhabits his wife.
