In a funk/rut....

MrsL1022

I do not know how to get over this but I am in a total funk. Nothing is wrong. My dh is wonderful, ds was getting molars and is at a challenging age, but otherwise so much fun to hang out with. I cannot seem to get myself out of my pjs and to the gym or any other activity. I had been taking a class that just ended and that required me to get up and out early and ds and I go to Kindermusik on Thursdays. This is just not me. I am usually at the gym early and run around until naptime, but I cannot seem to get motivated these days. I need to get into the gym as I have a family photo session for the holidays and I don't want to hate how I look in the photos.  Anyone else feel this way? How did you snap out of it?

yes.  i've been in several funks the last few months.  what helps is MAKING MYSELF do things.  get out, get to the gym, make a date for lunch w/ a friend, do a girls night.  the gym has been my big issue too - i'm just too blah to go, but when i do and when the workout is over, i feel MUCH better.  just make yourself do it.  period.  it's hard, but we have to try to make ourselves happy.

I get like this every once in a while too and I am a happy person and love my life. 

For me, I think it's the mundane, doing the same thing day in and day out that gets me.  Maybe force yourself to do something different?  Make dinner plans with a friend on a weeknight, go to Barnes & Noble on a Saturday afternoon and read a book, go get a manicure...something just for you that you don't normally do.  I find that usually helps me.
