DO you ever just feel like you’re in a slump? Yeah, me too.
I’m not sure what my deal is, but I’ve been feeling particularly unmotivated lately. I don’t know if I finally just burnt myself out from working/school/social life/etc or if I’m just feeling lazy, but the motivation to get things done is nonexistent.
Currently, I’m working. I work a lot, which is fine but being that the summer is just starting, I’m still going through a weird change in routine that I’m not used to yet. The water park I work at doesn’t open officially until Saturday, so we aren’t on a regular work schedule yet. I think this is the main cause for me feeling meh. Basically shifts range from 5:45am-2pm, 9:30am-5:30pm, or 2pm-10pm. Believe it or not, I actually prefer the morning shift because I can work and then take a couple hour nap and be awake in time to hangout with friends since most of my friends work until 5pm. BUT, with that being said, I’m not a morning person. I tend to stay up way too late and then try to work in the morning and end up REALLY tired. For some reason, I could lay in bed at 10pm but I still won’t fall asleep until midnight. So I never get a good amount of sleep before these shifts. Over the summer when I’m used to this, it’s fine. But currently, I’m still adjusting. So I’m feeling tired all the time and along with this tiredness comes the lack of motivation.
The weather has been GORGEOUS lately. Normally, I would be super excited and would use every opportunity I had to go outside and enjoy it. That hasn’t happened lately because I feel like I have a lot of things to do that can’t be done outside. I’m just feeling a little behind on things. There’s a lot to design, a few weddings these next two weekends, and a bunch of 12 hour shifts coming up. Once all this is over, I’m sure I’ll bounce back and regain my motivation. but until then I’m feeling slumpy.
So with all this being said, IT’S JUNE 6TH AND I STILL HAVEN’T FINISHED MY JUNE BULLET JOURNAL SPREADS!! Like what?? Get with it, woman! I need to kick my ass in gear!! I’m hoping that writing this will help me muster up some motivation. I also need to clean the damn apartment because it’s overdue for a good cleaning! I’m going to try to get both of those things done before the weekend. That’s the goal!
Anyways, I just wanted to say that it’s okay to feel slumpy sometimes. Don’t beat yourself up too hard if you do. Just push through it and take baby steps to get back to your normal. My way of doing so is that I’m writing this post, even though I’ve been putting off writing for the past month or so. By the end of my shift today, I will schedule at least one more post and start to make some more progress on my bullet journal!
Remember, always look towards the sun and stay positive. 🙂
With Love,
