It's easy to find the energy to do the things you love. If my kids ask me to play a board game, I suddenly get a second wind, even after a day of shopping and cooking and it's probably past my bedtime =D. Or, if an idea sparks, I am energized to write down a whole scene or a new character's backstory. For December's IWSG, I'm brainstorming ways to...
For some things, I have to scrounge up energy to get them done - like housework. I love to write, but sometimes after a long day of work, I don't have the energy to be creative. Responsibilities come first and can wear us out! So here are some things to try to Energize:
- Promise yourself a Reward - You deserve a treat for getting chores done. And a treat doesn't have to be food; it can be just relaxing, watching a favorite show, playing a video game, or strolling through social media--though a little chocolate or a glass of wine are also quite rewarding.
- Alternate - Do a chore, do something fun, do a chore, watch a show, etc.
- Take a Walk - Exercising can give you energy, seriously =D
- Take a Power Nap - If you're exhausted but still have to finish up some work, a 30 minute lie-down can be quite refreshing
If you have any suggestions for getting energized, please share!
Hope you enjoy the Holidays and all the Festivities that go along with the Season!
