Overwhelmed by Me
This is a day where I am feeling overwhelmed by my environment.
It is my fault and mine alone, but I am feeling unable to start my chores because there are so many of them that are begging to be started. I am shutting down and want to just crawl back in bed. Again, this is all my fault, but that doesn't change the fact that my house is a mess - again.
What can I do in the next minute? I can throw away some of the things that are sitting here on my desk.
As I was doing that, I found my overwhelmed self-care card that I made a long time ago to help me figure out what to do when I find myself in this situation. Is that serendipity or what?? Read, cry, sing loudly, paint, make food, stretch, play piano, drink ice water, make a book, turn off all electronics, go for a drive, draw, write it out, and visit Google Earth (which I can't do if I turn off all electronics...). For now, I think I will continue to write, drink some water (not icy at the moment), and stretch a bit.
When I look at my environment, I can see what needs to be done, but I rarely have the motivation to complete the tasks. The thing is that most of what needs to be done could (goblin) be done without much time, but I just don't do it. I wish I was better at this, so I am going to try.
Time to move forward. I am going to make some food and get some ice water. Happy Saturday.
