Life has been stressful and super frenetic. A fancy word for fast and energetic in a rather wild and uncontrolled way: "a frenetic pace of activity".
Synonyms ~ frenzied - wild - frantic - mad - rabid - all of them fit.
On Saturday, I woke up early {6.30am} and decided to go for a run on the farm...like a bizarre craving. < We have 20+ km of tracks and more old tracks criss crossing 1000+ acres.
My son hugged me
Off I ran
The app said I did 8km in just over an hour, I think I'd paused the app at some point but I was very happy about it.
All my energy right now goes into just breathing, running, cleaning and de-cluttering, refereeing my fighting
I wake up determined to get everything under control and organised but I fail because I try to do it all at once or not at all when the chair beckons me to sit a while and start click , click ,tap, tap tapping.
Oops.
It drains me completely placing my last bit of strength into getting to the point of being satisfied I made some difference before crawling into bed at midnight. I don't sleep well when he is away and I don't relax...though running is kind of relaxing.
I am struggling with anxiety about lots of things. I am well enough at the moment but I worry too much.
Last Thursday was National Relaxation Day, 15th August. My schedule ran around the activities of your kids, I had literacy groups in their classroom - which I do enjoy . Then I had shopping and to come back home to have everything in shape for Hub's return.
Life is insanely busy and there isn’t often a chance to relax (except when I run - yes I sound crazy). I think the idea behind National Relaxation Day reminded me it's so important to slow down sometimes.
I didn't get much chance to put my feet up and unwind but I did the enjoy the pamper package I was sent !
I know seriously who does laundry on National Relaxation day ? |
If nothing else always take 10 mins to pamper yourself.
I wasn't under any obligation to blog about the gift but I do love the strawberry body butter.
The shampoo/conditoner was perfect choice for my coloured hair too...sadly my hairdresser isn't keen to bleach my hair so soon after it re-growing (and a recent colour) so I can't go the vibrant purple I want.
I confess I'm hooked on running to ease my anxieties, for my fitness and to stay abreast [pun intended] of other runners because I don't want to run last.
What is your favourite time or way to relax ?

At night my favourite relaxation is a hot bath, with door shut ( and threat of death if anyone comes a-knocking unless they are actually on fire) and a silly fluff-book. ( Mills and Boon - a 24 yr old virgin orphan falling in love with her Gazillionaire Italian boss, is somehow duped into pretending to be his pretend fiancée, finds out she is pregnant with twins, they fight, she runs, he chases, all is back to lovely happy days within an hour of reading) Sigh *****
