Centering

I’m completely off-centered right now. Everything seems out of whack. I’m in a bad mood. I feel gross. I don’t feel productive.

I haven’t been able to work on my writing projects since last week (babysitter is on vacation, and I didn’t get my act together in time to line up the back-up sitter until later this week). That makes me incredibly cranky.

I haven’t been able to work out in forever. At this point I think it’s mental. Why don’t I just do it? I’m always tired. This, of course, makes me feel guilty, and I feel hideous.

I have a mountain of work to do. I’m too overwhelmed to dive in.

Everyone is driving me crazy.

Did I mention how tired I am? I end up just wanting to zone out. If I sit down to read the book I’ve been dying to read, I’m likely to fall asleep.

The brain is a tricky, tricky enemy sometimes. I need to get re-centered. I need to throw my lists away. I need to take a day off. We’re on break right now. I need to actually act like it. If I’m off centered, my entire household suffers, so I have self-care to do to make sure I have that balance.
