To start off, I apologize for not posting last week!
I’ve been feeling a little uninspired because I’m so busy with school and work. It’s hard to have my blog be my first priority when the majority of my time needs to be spent on school.
The good news is that I have around one more month left of this semester, then it’s Christmas break. Christmas break means I’ll have all the time in the world to create blog posts, so I can’t wait for that!
Yesterday morning, I had the morning off. Meaning I didn’t have to be to work until 3 pm, so I wanted to lay in bed all morning & just watch SOA. Like, I was seriously considering it, I did not want to be productive. Instead, I forced myself to do some minor chores around the house, made a really great breakfast, and took some pictures for a blog post. I wasn’t planning on doing a blog post, it just ended up that way for whatever reason.
It was like, me forcing myself to be productive gave me a little inspiration. The moral of the story is that, whenever you’re feeling uninspired, lazy, tired, or you just don’t want to get out of bed, I think the best thing you can do for yourself is do the complete opposite. Don’t hide out in bed all day. Make yourself get up & make your bed, make a really nutritious breakfast (oatmeal, fruit smoothie, or healthy pancakes), go for a walk/jog or get a good work out in, and then do an activity you love. Whether that activity includes reading, scrapbooking (THIS IS ME 100%, love to scrapbook), watch a good movie, or explore the city!
I know sometimes it’s so much easier to lay in bed and not face the world, but I felt so much better after choosing to not waste my day by laying in bed all day. & I got so much done that I wouldn’t have otherwise, which is such a refreshing feeling.
I do totally get that everyone is different & we all need balance. Sometimes we DO need that day where we don’t do absolutely anything, which is TOTALLY fine. I’m more referring to when you have a good amount of days where you don’t have anything going on, and for all of those days you choose to be unproductive. Am I making sense? Hopefully, LOL!
On another note, who wants to see the gorgeous breakfast I made yesterday morning?
Seriously, how perfect are these pancakes!? Not to mention, they were delicious AND healthy. That is a serious win win in my book.
Adding fruit to any breakfast meal is the prefect addition. Fruits are filled with antioxidants, which are so healthy for you. Trust me!
I also included a cup of warm water with fresh lemon juice squeezed into it. YUM.
I had a very satisfying breakfast yesterday, along with a very eventful day. There’s not much better than those two things combined.
Oh yeah, & it was Friday. What a Friday well spent!
How do you spend your days off? I’d love to know!
People responded really well to my first fashion post, so I’m thinking I’ll be doing another one very soon! Should I go with a more casual look again or a special occasion look?
Let me know in the comment section below, please!
We’ll talk soon.
