Ever since we've gotten back from our Newport trip {I know I still need to blog about that, sorry!} I have been feeling so blah. I am seriously feeling stuck in a massive rut. I can't seem to pop out of it, either.
Maybe it was coming back to reality that did me in-- sleeping in until 10 every morning was amazing but we all know that my kids don't do that at home. I can't put my finger on what's happening.
Maybe I shouldn't be blogging this... but who can I trust if I can't trust you, my blog readers? ;) Yesterday I couldn't even muster the strength to get out of bed and go to church. Facing people just didn't seem like something I wanted to do. I know that is when I need to be at church the most, but I just couldn't.
There are so many areas that I could improve spiritually, mentally, emotionally, physically on and I know that all of those would help my rut... it's just lack of motivation maybe? I'm not really sure. I know that I am so blessed, I have an amazing hubby who shows me and tells me how much he loves me on a constant basis, I have wonderful, beautiful children, in a time where nothing is stable my hubs has a pretty stable and reliable job, I have great friends and family... and so much more.
But...the rut is still there...

i can totally relate my friend! It could be vacation blues. I swear I feel the same way sometimes when I get home from someplace fun and have to get back to responsibilites and real life. it stinks being responsible!!! I hope you can pull out of your rut feeling. I think this heat drags me down too. Just make a list of small tasks you can accomplish and and you tackle them you can cross them off your list and it feels GREAT!!! you will slowly get your groove back. It helps me anyway. Motivation is a hard one to get. I have heard that you once you start to move and get busy and serious is when you get motivation. anyhow! i feel for you in your funk! you can crawl out of your rut! I know you can! I'll be thinking of you :)
when you find a way out of that rut, let me know. ive been in one for quite some time now :( but i will say this, reach out to your friends. blogging about this was a good idea because now your friends can give you words of strength and comfort. wish i had better words of strength and comfort for you.
Oh how I hate "ruts". It happens to the best of us yet I always asume that I'm the only one going through it. I know it might sound cheezy but my ruts usually are conquered by prayer or caused by lack of personal prayer on my part. When I do have my personal prayer, little changes start to happen to get me out of my rutt. I also agree with Loree on the heat. Going anywhere seems overwhelming in the heat. Love ya'.
I totally understand the "rutt" thing! And man, is it hard to get out of. I was actually thinking about this while I was on vacation. My sisters and mom and I drove out on the beach in our cars and of course I got stuck. The more I tried to move on my own, the deeper I got. Suddenly, here comes my sisters and my niece and started pushing me, and sure enough I got right out. I soon realized that if I kept moving at a slow, steady pace, the sand didn't have a chance to trap me. I guess the same applies in life...keep moving forward little by little and when you feel "stuck" rely on family, friends and most of all Heavenly Father. This is a lesson I constantly remind myself of!
Autumn! You need to call me. Come over as soon as you can! I will cheer you up. I need a good Autumn fix you sassy girl. Call me
A) Are you ever burdened with a load of care? Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear? Count your many blessings every doubt will fly and you will be singing as the days go by. - You are already on you're way! I find it helps when I write them down in my journal.
B) As I stood on the beach last week. I thought about how vast the Ocean is & how endless the night sky seems and for a brief moment I felt tiny and insignificant. Then I was struck by the thought that as "small" as I may be that my Heavenly Father knows me. He knows me and He loves me. He cares about my "stuck" days. Same goes for you, Princess. You are cared for and loved and not just by your Father in Heaven but by me and many more people who recognize your significance and think you are B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!
Love, love, love you!
p.s. in a few short days you will have a cure all - new baby nephew to hold in your arms!
It must be really going around! I've been feeling a rut for a while too. It doesn't matter how blessed you are, we all get in these ruts every now and then. In my case, I always seem to feel these ruts when I haven't been doing very well in reading my scriptures or going to the Temple. These 2 things make such a huge difference for me. Don't be so hard on yourself. We all have challenges when it comes to our spirituality. You are an amazing person and I admire you GREATLY!! I hope you feel better soon.
Hope you are feeling better soon! Sorry you feel that way, I know it is hard to get out of, but you are strong just fight it - go for a walk, get out of the house, go visit you sister and her new baby (me, not Amy - I mean you can visit Amy, but I was talking about me), but do something to spoil yourself. I will be thinking of you. Just remember that being in a rut doesn't mean you are ungrateful, so don't be hard on yourself... you know you are blessed and you are grateful, but sometimes everyone feels a little down. Love you, talk to you soon!
Your in a rut cause Arizona sucks and you dont want to come back here. Trust me Ive been in a rut for 29 freaking years! or your pregnant.
