what do you do to pull yourself out of a funk or rut? I'm in one!! I just cant get any energy/desire to do anything to change, but I really need to! any suggestions?
Well this depends heavily on why your feeling this way. Has it been going on for a long time or just a short bit?
Maybe you just need a break, a bit of mommy time. Maybe a walk alone, or a nice hot bath or whatever you find relaxing and rejuvenating usually. If that doesn't work and it continues for an extended period (more than 2 months) you should consider contacting your doctor there are many things that could lead to feeling like your in a funk you cant get out of.
I shop!
Unless, of course, the funk is money-related. In that case, I just try to get through it until something comes along to make me happy again.
That CAN'T be all I do. That doesn't seem very proactive.
Why the funk, sweetheart?
I shop too!!! But I'm trying to save money, so maybe that's why..I've lost my vice :(
I don't know, it's just s funk :( There's so much I WANT to do, but can't for one reason or another. Money, time, not kid friendly, ect. And I keep trying to modify (a cheaper outing or maybe instead of being able to join a gym working out at home) but it never lasts, I get lazy or just don't want to do the cheaper thing..ugh..
I scrapbook! Reading is also very therapeutic for me. I have bipolar disorder so, sometimes when I get in a funk, it can mean something more serious. I have to be very aware of symptoms and treat them before anything becomes too severe. When I feel like shit, I love to sleep. On a good day, I feel GREAT after a nap. On a not-so-good day, I feel even worse after a nap. It's really hard to say. Many women say "bath" as their first remedy... but me... I HATE baths! ;-)
Shopping is like a quick fix for me, usually i feel worse, or want to spend money i don't have.
Baths, i love baths, although i normally take showers.
meditation is helpful and working out sometimes...
but sometimes when youre in a funk,, it just seems to get worse...changing routines and doing something different works as well. but give yourself a break, everyone feels this way, it is hard to find time for yourself to relax which you probably need to re-energize.
best to you.
