Weighed Down?

Weighed down.

Do you ever get that feeling?

Lately I have been feeling weighed down by certain aspects of my life. Even my writing commitments, and I absolutely love my writing commitments . . . somehow I’ve just been coming up blank for the last few weeks. Wondering over the how/what/why.

I’ve just felt entirely exhausted, which is not a good thing when your job is to love and impart knowledge and joy into the lives of two small people. I don’t think I have ever been this snappy with my kids, or this boring. The poor little pets, this mummy hasn’t been getting her craft on very much lately, or her play, or her song time.

Even my housework is suffering – tragic, I know.

But, and thank goodness there is a but, I have started to get on top of a few things and it is already doing wonders for my mind.

Small things, like getting my Target Blogger button sorted, finally, and replying to emails about product reviews and giveaways, just making my way through my ridiculous inbox . . . it makes me feel just a little bit lighter.

Then there’s getting my sewing space organised and {somewhat} tidy and finishing one of my projects, my spotty pink taffeta dress . . . lighter still.

I’m also going to be doing the 30 for 30 challenge – thirty minutes of exercise on each of the thirty days of November. I can feel the endorphins improving my mood already . . . light, light, light.

De-cluttering certain areas of my life just makes it that much easier to sift through the thoughts that have me trapped in my mind so much of the time at the moment.

So here I go to do some more sifting, I might just clean out a cupboard while I’m at it.

This Thursday I’m Thankful for the things that, and the people who, help me and take some of that weight I’m carrying around. Linking up with We Heart Life for their first Thankful Thursday.
