I'm going through a stage where I just don't wanna do anything. I am a clean freak and I always keep my house picked up so that's not a problem...but, after that's done, I really don't wanna do anything else but sit. I usually work out or go to the mall or clean my yard or something. But, I don't wanna do anything!
Ever experienced this???
Yup. The weather usually plays into it.
I get soooo set in my schedule I bore myself. I try to mix things up to make things more interesting.
Are you watching a lot of tv. That will SUCK the energy out of you FAST.
Oh, totally. Motivation is not something I come by easily. I find that giving myself a schedule/routine helps. Or, scheduling things in the morning that I *have* to do make me get up and get jump-started.
Going through it RIGHT now. It's too pretty outside to clean!! Time to PLAY!
That's when I usually sit down at my computer and spend an hour reading posts on Mamapedia. Reeeeeally need to get my butt up and out of this chair and do something!
Seriously, I get like that too. Like right now! Don't wanna, either!!
:)
Yes,I go through this at times. Sometimes it is just boredom but sometimes it is depression. Depression can be caused by something physical such as a Vitamin D deficiency. If it doesn't lift soon,see your Dr.
Ha all the time! I am not a clean freak either so this phase leaves my house less than stellar. I am in it right now and would rather sit on the computer than clean or deal with my DD whining about everything.
I have days like that. I'm a stay at home mom and I figure those are the days I just really need a vacation. Since that's not an option, I just do the minimum those days. I sit on the floor and play with my kids-- I don't do the dishes or check e-mail or pick up. When they nap, I nap or read a book and allow myself a mental health day! I usually feel better the next day - or sometimes it takes two days!
Yep! I'm 32 weeks pregnant with #3 and have literally been in survival mode the entire time! Zero motivation and zero energy to match!
I have felt this way when I'm not pregnant too, and usually something like re-arranging furniture or buying a new rug or towels or something fun for the house or taking a short trip to somewhere local will help me get out of a rut.
Yep, me too. For me, it is cyclical w/ the weather and the school year.
Yes! and you know what, I give in to it - for a little while. then I seriously just have to force myself to get back into the groove and after a few days I find my energy has returned:)
Sometimes you do just need a break.
I'm going through it too but I have an idea of where it stems from. For me, it is depressed passion. When I can't channel my passion, I get completely blah. I tend to focus on the wrong things, get more upset, no energy, but actually I'm more anxious.
As a previous poster said, I need a daily plan when I have down time. Otherwise, internet and movies for me.
