Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

Time For A Reset

September 6, 2021

For full disclosure I wrote this at the end of last month.

I can’t remember if I’ve done this before, but I think I have. Or tried. Or failed. One of those anyway. Well, it’s time to try it again. Yesterday I don’t know what it was but I ended up in a blubbering heap by the end of the day. It could have been the overwhelm of a house that keeps falling apart and needing help. It could be because the sale of my mother’s house will be next week. It’s possible that my terrible eating habits are messing with my moods. Whatever it was/is I realized I need to start over – press the reset button. THIS time I mean to make progress. I’m tired of feeling crappy and tired and I’ve pinpointed some issues that I need to deal with or get help with:
1. Overwhelm
2. Burned out
3. Don’t get any regular time out
4. Procrastination that paralyzes
5. Decision fatigue – from small to large problems
6. Negativity in so many areas of my life
I found some books that may help but I started by reading one about simplifying your life when you are burned out – getting back to basics and priorities. So I’m starting there. I’m going to try to get books from the library or thrift stores instead of buying new if I can too – save some money. That’s also on the list somewhere – getting back on a budget and spending intentionally. But that’s a little further down the list – right now I need to get ME healthy and well in mind and body.

There’s another book I really need – “When Making Others Happy is Making You Miserable” by Karen Ehman. It’s about people pleasing and I am the poster child for this one. I have got to take back my life and stop feeling guilty for every damn decision I make. I think it’s what contributes to the decision fatigue as well.

Here’s where I put all my grandiose plans in but I’ll refrain. I think the one thing I’ll start with is less coffee and tea and more water, milk, or juices. Hydration, or lack thereof, is my biggest problem right now so I’ve got to get that on track first. I know it will make a huge difference in how I feel and probably look too. I always complain about my complexion issues, but seriously, what I put into my body is as important (if not more) than what I put on it.

Okay, so go me – reset your life girl! See how much better you can feel which means you can handle things just a little bit better and turn your life around.
