Permission to be lazy...

One of my big problems (of many) is that I never give myself permission to relax. I always feel like I have to do something and if I don't get it done (which is often), I beat myself up a bit for it. This is one reason for my major stress problems.

Today I gave myself permission to have a lazy morning. I decided that I would lay in bed until noon, drink some coffee, watching tv, read a book and just enjoy the morning. It was wonderful. I really need to do that more often.

Despite that, I still managed to get everything I needed to done--which is HUGE. Hair washed, check. Lunches made, check. Dinner made, check. Ran to store, check. Facial done, check. Straightened up, check.

What a great Sunday.

Tomorrow is back to work for me after a week and a half being off. Murgh. Not looking forward to it, but it'll be nice to get back to a routine. January through the spring is a very busy time for me, so I know when I return tomorrow that it'll be full speed ahead in the go-go world of finance. :-/

Also, I am vowing to get up tomorrow and workout. I hate mornings and it'll be hard, but I think if I can conquer that and start my exercise routine, it'll be wonderful. I'm hoping and praying that'll it'll give me energy throughout the day and that it'll be a start to a habit I can stick with. Only tomorrow will tell when the alarm goes off, but here's hoping to a good start to the rest of my life.

Wish me luck!

  2. Good luck Sam! Why can't you just live here so we could work out together in the mornings? That would help me out. I too need to exercise. Good for you getting a facial and having a lazy morning! I try to do that as often as I can, it really makes a difference. How are your kitties doing? I hope all is well and that your first day back goes smoothly. I'm praying for you :).
