The past week I have lost all of my enthusiasm and energy both mentally and physically and I feel downright Blurgh:(
So today I have a child free day and I have decided to blog, charge my crystals, a do a healing meditation to see if that helps.
I have already vacuumed the house and mopped and done a load of washing and I will also do some baking and reading. Hopefully these things will rejouvenate my soul and I will gain some perspective on things happening around me.
Things are getting hectic. We have been getting plans drawn up to build an extra room onto our house and they are finally finished and will be submitted to council for approval and then it will be go go go. Honestly I am excited about this but also nervous as all our back up money will be spent. I don't know how I will cope with builders etc everywhere and lots of mess. I know the outcome will be worth it and will add value to our house but I am still nervous as it is huge for us and I have never renovated big time before.
Money is tight at the moment due to this and I feel horrible.
I know I have to change my patterns of thoughts and use the law of attraction to bring back the positivity and make my dreams come true so today within my meditation this is what I am planning on doing.
So back my original question what do you do when you are feeling blurgh to make you feel better?
Look forward to hearing some replys:)

My New challenge
I have to apologize for not posting regularly. I have lost my freedom of regular monday posts whilst school holidays has been on.
However after taking the girls to the park all morning I have now put a movie on for them so I can escape into blogging world for 10 minutes.
So back to my post title 'my new challenge'. Last week the library had a book sale of old books and I managed to scramble a few nice ones in really good condition. So I am putting them away for the girls for Christmas. What has this got to do with me new challenge I hear you ask? Well this year our Christmas is going to be a preloved, pre owned one. Probably not totally entirely. I will buy the girls a few brand new things but other things are going to be pre loved. I am so over the commercialism of toys and plastic junk. This year not one thing in the toy catalogues had me [other than the scooter Ella needs as she has outgrown her old one and Mia has now claimed it lol]. Everything was just plastic rubbish that the girls will play with for five seconds and then they will be over it. So I am going to be as thrifty as possible this year. I will scour op shops, online auction sites and garage sales to secure some lovely presents for the girls. This isn't a money challenge. This is a challenge to stop landfill and give the girls an appreciation of recycling and reusing and providing them with quality presents they will treasure for a long while. As time goes on I will post pictures of my finds and I will also include what they cost just incase anyone is interested. I cannot post pictures of the books I've found so far as the girls are home and will see them but hopefully all going well I will get around to it one night or next monday when they are back at school.
Being Mia's first year in school next year [yes my tiny baby girl starts kindergarten] she will need a few new things and both girls will need new swimmers and underwear, however everything else will be thrifted.
I recently posted on a parenting forum that I visit asking for ideas of unusual Christmas presents. Some of the responses were great.
They included craft kids and embroidery kits, gardening things like pots and plants, walkie-talkies, bedroom furniture, baking sets, fishing gear, wooden puzzles, board games, card games, a box of dress ups etc etc
So that's the idea anyway. So far the girls only have books and I brought my Grandfather a second hand sporting book too that I have put away until Christmas time [or his birthday].
So fingers crossed this goes to plan and I can think of some funky things and find some funky things to get them :)
Until next time
