From wired to tired

Thanksgiving was great but now I am just plain tired from being so wired from all the excitement of cooking, planning and having such a crowd here at the house.

I've always gotten exctied overly easy and then pay for it a couple days after and need time to recoop. Now I am just blah feeling and not to motivated today......feel zapped.

Who else gets overly stimulated with change like what the holidays might bring on and then poops out afterwards???

Thanks and I hope everyone enjoys the weekend...though it feels like Monday to me!!! :-)

I never know how I'll feel the day after a big doings like that.
But I'm always glad that it's over and that I can quit worrying about if I'm remembering everything that needs remembering!!

I hope you can do a lot of resting up now that it's over!!!!

I too have this funny affliction, company comes over and I clean like Jesus is coming down to inspect my apartment! Then, I get mentally and physically exhausted. Guess we just need to chill out?? I've always been like this, but then I wasn't diagnosed until in my 40's.

Wired to Tired!!! Tat's I love it : ) So simple and I've never heard it.... You do know, I'm going to swipe it and use it at every chance? LOL

Glad you had a nice full thanksgiving, and I agree - is there another way? Do rest and enjoy, participating in Any Huge endeavor? Is tiring for all humans, yet when WE feel it? We FEEL it : )

(((((BIG HUG)))) enjoy it and REST!

I have to do something for a few minutes, then kinda relax a couple (whether it is deep breathing or listening to relaxing music) then I go back to doing whatever it is I was doing. IT helps alot and it keeps me from becoming overstimulated. I drink alot of herbal tea and inhale Lavender oil and take and herb called Passion Flower and I take Valerian to sleep. It works great for me :)

Yep I'm chillin out today....been loom knitting my heart out...Smile

I was getting bummed out but relaxing and just taking it easy has helped.....about to listen to some music and finish up a hat I've been working on....trying not to stress too much about running out of fuel oil!! Whoever built this house was a moron.....put in a tank with no guage whatsoever!! So it's a guessing game as to how much fuel oil we actually have each year, freaks me out!!!

I slept during the day for hours on Thanksgiving, and all day yesterday. I get so stressed when having to socialize, even with family. (Especially with family?) I didn't have to cook or clean, but I have a pet sitting business and I do a lot of driving and early mornings around holidays so I think I was just pooped out from everything.

I was hoping you had a nice Thanksgiving. And now hoping you have a relaxing weekend. I took a long nap last evening since I lost internet connection and almost didn't make it up for dinner. But I'm working most of the weekend at the yarn shop. It's always relaxing there. Just throw all the Alpaca in a pile and roll in it. Heaven.

    Some things we don't talk about, we breathe them... Some things cannot be explained, but rather experienced. Some of the most healing moments arise when given the memory, acknowledging the love.One cannot go back in time; we move forward, and we carry the love we shared. No one but ourselves has the power to do so, or the permission to do so, but ourselves.So live life with your faith and...
