When you just don't care.
There are times in our life, when things just don't seem to matter. It might be a Monday morning going back to work. Or the lull of the end of the winter season waiting for Sprintgtime. Or just nothing new is happening to get us all excited about life. That's okay. There is a season for everything. It is what you do with, or how you handle these lulls that will determine the fate of tomorrow.
Don't get depressed when you are in a lull. Rather then allowing a downward spiral to emerge, acknowledge the situtation, and then you can reflect on it as a time to prepare for what is next. Don't worry that you aren't making any big giant steps towards some goal. Rather find a baby step that is easy to reach, and feel good about that. Take out the trash. Clean the bathroom, do the laundry. These are simple things that might need to get and don't require much thought or effort. And while you are knocking off some easy stuff from the list, reflect on waiting for the next big push to come. Breath in some new air and energy to start to fuel your insides. And in time a new season of excitement will arrive.
Be careful how you deal with others during these times of lull. Often times when you are in a funk it is easy to attack those that are close to you. Becareful to not do that. Rather let them know you are out of sorts, and just trying to regroup. You might benefit by spending time away from those folks to just do your own thing. I like going out to my shop in the barn. I clean-up and organize stuff out there. It is mindless work, that helps me feel good about what I got done, and keeps me away from yelling at people that don't deserve it. Or the exact opposite may help you. Take those folks out to a movie or to dinner. Spend sometime with those that are close in a safe event. Do something that you all can enjoy with out getting hot and bothered. It might help you to work out of your funk.
Don't blame others for your funk or lullness. Even when things around us seem to go crazy it is our actions and responses to the situations that can cause our own mood swings. So, you might not be at 100 percent today. It isn't other peoples fault. So, by taking ownership to your own situation you can then take ownership to the steps to getting you to move beyond your current state of mind.
So, it is okay to have a bad day, or a bad week ... but take that time to absorb new energy to get you to the next victory. Because there are many more victorys to achieve.
