Need a Pick Me Up?

My Writing Assistant: sadly, just a pretty face.

Man, I have been off my game recently! Ever feel like that? I have so many posts I want to write, but I feel like I don't have the available brain cells to actually write them, at least not in a way that would make them worth reading. Scoops has been completely reinventing her schedule patterns in ways that are not at all conducive to ever leaving the house. I have extremely limited motivation to keep up with the laundry (clean underwear is pretty much my primary motivating factor), almost zero motivation to engage in physical activity, and I can't seem to decipher any of my child's requests (read: whining cries) anymore. It's not like everything is going especially wrong, I just feel... off. You know the feeling. I'm sure you do. It's somewhat akin to feeling not-good-enough, which is a terrible feeling.

It's times like these I'm thankful that I have a good support network to pull me out of my funk. I know I can always count on my husband to remind me that I am enough, and more than enough. If he's busy at work and can't chat, I know I can call my mom or sisters and they'll tell me the same. It's important to me that I'm able to remind myself that I am enough, but sometimes I just don't have the energy for it. It's like taking a class in something you're qualified to teach. You can totally do it yourself; you can even teach other people to do it, but sometimes you just don't have the energy for that and need someone else to lead you through what you already know. Or maybe you just need chocolate. Whatever it is that makes you feel better and gets you back to that place where you recognize and embrace "I am enough." 

And on that note, here's a little pick-me-up. I hope it makes you smile as much as I did. :)

What do you do when you're feeling down, or off? How do you get out of your rut and back to feelin' good?
