These past couple of weeks have been long and for some reason I have sort of been living in a fog. The day to day was normal but for some reason I have been down. And the worst part was nothing really stands out as to why I am feeling this way.
I think it is a combination of a lot of things. The weather around here has been dreary lately, work has been tedious, the holiday weekend was a little disappointing in that we didn’t really celebrate much. Other peoples issues have been weighing on my mind as well. It is times like this that I really wish I could shut things of like Erik can!
I always feel bad for my family when I get to feeling like this. As much as I like to think I am not showing my emotions on the outside, I know that I am!
I have been hard on the kids too, more yelling and stuff like that. I am not proud of it but it’s true! Every little misstep upsets me and I am constantly over correcting them. When I noticed I am over criticizing I always step back and apologize. I always try to compliment them as well but doesn’t make me feel better for the way I have acted.
I have tried taking breaks, stepping away to clear my head. I have tried to do things that I enjoy but nothing seems to be enough right now.
I know that I just need to get a more positive mindset and look up towards God to get me through this and back to my normal, happy self! He has a plan and I need to remember to have strength and faith in that!
Do any of you have any tips on how to bring yourself back up? What do you guys do when you get stuck in a slump like this? (I hope I am not the only one!)
I hope that I can get through this reallllly long, short work week (all of the short ones see m to drag on I think!) and enjoy the weekend!
XOXO, Kristy
