- I take some time for myself. The e-mails can wait, the messy kitchen can wait, the toys on the floor can wait. So I sit. I read, or I watch some TV or I catch up on IG - but it's my time. Sometimes it's 10 minutes other times its an hour but I take it for me.
- I drink my favorite drink. An ice cappuccino with vanilla from Tim Hortans. It's cold, it's refreshing and it's caffeinated. I feel so refreshed after drinking it.
- I read my GO-TO inspiration blogs. Seeing these amazing woman doing all the things motivates me to do the simple things in my home. It helps me realize that I don't have to do it all to feel amazing, I just have to do what I have to do to get it done.
- I lay down. I usually have to wait for Vincent to take his nap but when he does, so do I. I lay down on my bed or on the couch and relax. I lay down and take some deep breaths. I lay down and reflect.\
- I call my mom. My mom is pretty good about snapping me back to reality or giving me some words of encouragement.
Not everyday is going to be perfect. Not everyday am I going to wake up feeling like I can conquer the day. Some days are like today and that's ok. What matters is I acknowledge it and I try to be better. I try to turn it around. It's better than not. It's better than allowing those feelings to take over and take me down with them.
So here's to making the rest of today better than this morning.
