My last post was one of taking charge, owning up, feeling sooo positive...Now I feel completely and utterly uninspired. Not depressed, just uninspired. It's not often I do actually, but I feel so blah I ended up eating "knäckebröd" for lunch yesterday because I couldn't even be bothered trying to figure out what or where to eat. Even food bores me. Let's not even talk about the dinner I cooked last night...Good grief. So what to do?! We have all this time to do something useful and fun with and I can't seem to get my thumbs out to do a single meaningful thing. Though I did manage to lure my friend over the other day to sew and make patterns etc which was fun, but we were both moving on half-speed. Both feeling exactly the same lethargy and blah-ness.
I found this article by Dylan Buckley online and even though I know all this already, I'm going to give it a go. I did actually bring out my big aqua velour clad notebook that I usually carry around with me to make notes in, doodle or make sketches in a couple of weeks ago when I started feeling this way....The pages remain blank.
13 Things to Do When You Feel Uninspired and Stuck Where You Are
It’s not uncommon to encounter at least a phase in our lives where we feel overall uninspired and stuck in our current situation. For those who are just approaching this kind of phase, it can cause you to question every move you made prior to this point and whether or not you are living the life that you want.
