Hodge Podge I’m tired

This what I hear almost on a daily basis these days.

People seem tired of everything, tired of the same old thing, tired of being in the same town, tired of going shopping, tired of housework… The list goes on and on.

Ask yourself this, why are we so tired? Is it the late nights catching up on us or is it too much routine? Too much staring at our phones or the TV? My take on it is we don’t take time for ourselves, we clatter around doing things and loose sight of the smaller things in life.

Re-charging your batteries is a good thing and as we are all different, its what works for you personally, it could be big and grand or small and petite. I like to recharge by sitting in the garden with a cup of tea, I listen to the birds or by having a nap on the couch, if I have time. Something small can work wonders for your self esteem. And doesn’t have to cost the earth either, unless you want it to and can afford to.

Cutting yourself some slack and not being quite so hard on yourself is also a good thing, the house doesn’t have to be immaculate every day, the laundry can wait another minute. So down tools, pour yourself a coffee and take five. That crock pot in the kitchen could help quite a lot, you could put something onto cook in the morning and by tea time, just serve the meal, no hard work and easy to clean. Saving you more time to relax.

So if you do manage to save time, take a little for yourself now and then, you deserve it, we all do, any mum or dad can tell you that. Five minutes peace is better than money, to go to the bathroom on your own can be a real treat sometimes. So grab it while you can.

Use the crockpot, let the washing wait, take five. Spend time kicking back if you can.

Taking a little time for yourself is a good thing. We all struggle to do too much which results in us ending up being “tired”.
