In need of change. (kinda QOTD)
Not sure in what aspect, but there is part of me saying I need to change something. I just feel bored and in a rut lately, even with my cooking. I keep thinking I need to change my hair, which would probably pacify me, but every time I have an appt I chicken out and cancel it. When you feel like you need change, what do you do?
Re: In need of change. (kinda QOTD)
Feeling kind of the same way. I think for me a lot of it is the lack of scheduled activities in the summer and inability to play outside for more than 15 minutes with the heat. I am holding out until next month. We have G's b-day, I am going to be on the preschool parent committee and meetings start in August, and the Fair.
What I really want to change is my workout routine. I go to the Y do my thing, get the kids and leave - twice a week. I used to be a 4-6 day a week regular at the gym, did spin multiple days a week. Then I started having back problems and then kids. I am thinking about going to the chiropractor to try to alleviate the back pain. Perhaps then I could start doing spin again!
When I/we need a change or feel like I/we are stuck in a rut, we usually get out of town, even for just a night. We find that a change of scene clears the slate.
I am too chicken to do anything drastic to my hair, the most I would do is cut it.
I was thinking yesterday about how I'm sort of a change junkie... I get so excited about something new/different.
Some of my favorites:
- different hair cut and/or color
- a new (or switching back to an older) purse/bag
- rearranging our living room or bedroom
- day trip to see out-of-town friends or family
- try a new recipe
- deep clean the car (wacky, yes - but a clean car WOULD be a change!)
- new workout (which, sadly, would be any workout currently... I've been a total slacker for quite some time)
- new music on Pandora, CD mix, iPod playlist, etc. -- LOVE good new tunes!
- go on a walk with a totally different route somewhere in town
- trip to the library or Barnes & Noble to enjoy some books or magazines that I wouldn't usually read
- phone date with a friend I haven't talked to for a long time
Guess I got a little carried away with my list...
