I put a new post on my blog about that. The biggest thing for me...is to move. Acknowledge that you're having these thoughts - that's a huge step towards victory. Then, move. It doesn't have to be much...but owning those thoughts, and then physically moving can do wonders.
If there's anything I can do to help, please let em know!!
I'm sorry to hear you are still in a funk. Funks suck. My quickest funk buster is to listen to some rocking tunes on my iPod and dance around my house. Granted it's not a cure all for a deep dark funk, but it's something to get moving and put a smile on my face.
I try to be aware of my blessings and live with an attitude of gratitude as they say. (ever wondered who "they" is?) As I consider the suffering in Japan and Haiti, how can I not be thankful and happy?
Try and change up your routine a little - I find that I get into patterns that help me stay focused, but occasionally I get bored and it's counterproductive. So I'll make a small change - mix up what day of the week is my rest days, or switch from plain yogurt to Greek yogurt for a little while. They're not monumental, but it's enough to shake things up a bit!

ReplyDeleteI just had a February-long funk...
ReplyDeleteI reminded myself why I'm in this and made a plan...I find writing it down helps!
