The last few months have been an absolute whirlwind in our household. We bought a new house, sold our old house, moved, got married and then went on our honeymoon. We also, as I indicated in my last post, lived in a hotel for over a week while our floors were being redone in our old home. Did I mention I also quit my job? Life has been completely crazy, to say the least.
Fortunately, the last two weeks have been MUCH more normal. Unfortunately, after all of that madness it has been really hard to get back on track and stick to any type of schedule. Here are the things I’ve been doing to get back on track:
1. Making lists (lots and lots of lists!) Lists about what kind of job I want, what to clean, what to put away, what we need to buy for the new house, what we need to get rid of, what to blog about. Lists galore!
2. Setting an alarm and (mostly) getting up when it goes off. This is REALLY hard for me to do. When I’m working it is one of the worst things ever. However, I’ve noticed that now that I don’t have to go do something I hate it is so much easier to get up in the morning.
3. Keeping up with my workouts. OK, I have been slacking here. Last week I went to yoga twice and one 4 mile run. We also bought road bikes (woo!) and we rode 15 miles on Saturday and 18 on Sunday in addition to riding two horses on Saturday. This week has not been nearly as good. I’ve only gone to yoga twice. I need to get on some sort of lifting schedule as well.
4. Not watching too much TV. This is hard for me because I love all of the daytime shows. Kelly and Michael and Dr. Oz in particular. Instead of sitting and doing nothing while watching them I try to have them on and actually accomplish something. For example, Dr. Oz is on right now in the back ground.
Mainly, I feel getting back on track after a few months of insanity really involves giving yourself a break. Yes, I have things to do. Yes, I have to come up with a career plan ASAP. That being said I do not need to be so hard on myself all of the time. Things are happening. I want and need to enjoy my life. Not many people get to take this time off to relax and figure out their lives. I’m really fortunate and I fully realize this! Now, off to deal with the repair man for our oven!
How do you all get back on track if you’ve been totally mixed up for a while?
