#77 - Getting Out Of A Funk

Have you ever woken up and just felt off?  Or you've woken up in a fine mood and then all of a sudden you're feeling blah, and you can't put your finger on it other than to describe it as being in a funk?

As working moms, we all go through funks now and again.  Sometimes you start off the day feeling tired, checking your phone and seeing 20 emails waiting for you and the kids aren't being cooperative; other times your clients are badgering you, traffic was insane and your husband didn't empty the dishwasher like he promised.

It's easy for working moms to get into a funk because we tend to neglect our own needs for the needs of others.  When you are more concerned with making everyone else happy, the string of days and weeks where your needs went unmet, can eventually turn into a never-ending funk.

It doesn't even have to be when something isn't going your way; it can also happen after some big goal is accomplished or a special occasion has passed.  When you are no longer focused on something exciting like achieving a promotion, your child graduating from college or taking that dream vacation, you may find yourself in a funk afterwards.  

This week I'm going to discuss what causes a funk and three simple things to do to get out of one.
