Alex's favorite expression is wah wah baby. Like when I'm complaining or in general unhappy with the world.
So today I'm just in a funk. No real explanation. I'm sure working from home isn't helping. I need to be more disciplined about working at my desk, wearing proper work clothes, etc.
I got up and showered as I do every single day. I haven't been so bad as to just work from the bed (ha!) but I chose my velour pants and snuggled up on the couch with my laptop all day. Why this would make a huge difference mentally over working at my desk is crazy. But it matters.
And I knew that and did it anyway because I was just oh so comfortable on the couch. Me and comfortable don't always work well together. I need a little discipline and discomfort in my life it seems!
That's definitely a metaphor for my food and exercise habits too.

I know it is not quite the same as working but being a stay at home mum I find when I am getting stuck in a rut or depressed it is when I don't get up have a shower get dressed and get ready for the day.
ReplyDeleteI think getting into your work clothes is an excellent idea - you just feel fresher and brighter - well that is what I find anyway :-)
Thanks Yvonne! I definitely see it being similar to being a stay at home mom in terms of the patterns and challenges with staying motivated and not being depressed.
