Probably. A lot of the notional projects are also new stuff related (maybe I should get that headboard I was considering after all and put it up…), not usually decluttering. We all know retail therapy promises happy chemicals. Or if I do think about decluttering, I only imagine the end result, not the process.
PS I don’t actually DO the projects and I redirected my shopping energy into holiday gifts in this instance. But also brains don’t make sense and make more work for themselves.
Distraction/procrastination? This is a hallmark of my response to being overwhelmed (basically, deflect to something else, even if it is completely unreasonable).
Probably true as well… Or at least avoidance and a desire to do something that feels productive and is soothing/satisfying…
I ended up directing this energy toward basic cleaning and a short home weights workout. Now 2 days later my shoulders hurt
I did a new thing yesterday that was stressful/nerve wracking due to the unknowns, although I’m proud of how it worked out.
Now I want a day off and my brain refuses to decision or socialize.
Some memes I liked:
More Monday feels.
TBH plotting a 7 book fantasy epic is actually a great way for me to fall asleep, reliving socially awkward moments not so much to be sure
My best sleeps are falling asleep while planning my garden, daydreaming about the end result.
last night/morning 2am was thinking about all the things I had posted online in the past week and regretting each one for its unique reason.
Hugs.
Douchebag brain is a douchebag.
I think I’m tipped over but actually I’m down the street.
Rage does not touch my emotional state on this:
If parents were doing a good job on mental health, the school intervention would not be necessary!
Conservatives use valuable resources for students as political target for their agenda, more like. Shit.
give children coping mechanisms and says that the child can grow up and be a different type of person than parent wants
Certain types of parents unhappy
Also goes for accumulating physical baggage. Old things that no longer serve their purpose but are so familiar to keep, we don’t want to let go…
Coming after me and my two bins of shoes I’ll never fit again post pregnancy, I see how it is.
The day will come when it feels easier to let them go than keep holding on. You don’t need to rush it.
