A Bad Case of the Blahs
Readers, do you ever get the blahs? This past weekend I was struck with the blahs, and struck bad.
No motivation, no sense of urgency, no inspiration, not even an ounce of interest in creating a to-do list only to feel the satifsfaction or crossing items off the list (which usually always gets me!). Nothing, nada, zero and frankly, I was no fun. When I asked Mike if he noticed he said, "oh yeah, but I was really hoping you'd just figure it out for yourself and that way I wouldn't have to be involved at all... you can be a little unpredictable when you get the blahs," and by unpredictable he means crazy woman. Awesome
So, I've focused efforts over the last two days on figuring out how to un-blah myself. Monday night I had drinks with great longtime friends, last night I met a Grad. school friend for coffee, and tonight I made a delicious dinner for Mike and I to enjoy. It felt great. A step in the right direction.
While cooking dinner I also stumbled upon this fun activity and I got a little excited. I might even be excited enough to participate myself. Funnily enough I already had an idea in mind for holiday decor DIY (since our decorations will look absolutely feeble this year in our new house). As I began to think of the posibilities for a weekend project I felt it returning to my veins... motivation, inspiration, and the beginning of un-blahing.
So, how to you go about un-blahing yourself? Do you dive into a new book? Do you take it to the streets, go for a walk, or shop? Do you look up new recipes and go to town in the kitchen? I'd love to know!
PS- Apparently, this is a common problem. Look what I found...
you know... I bet I could learn a lot from this little guy. Apparently locating an authentic elf hat and red elf shoes is a step in the right direction when trying to get rid of your blahs. Who knew?!
