I don't know about you, but I'm suffering from December doldrums. Life is good most of the time, and compared to a lot of people, I have no right to complain about anything. So why do I feel so crummy? I'll blame it on the month of December- dark, dreary and cold. Add to that being tired, bored, and non-productive when I need to be energetic, interesting, and super high functioning.
By the time December rolls around, my naturally positive tendencies have turned a tad negative, and my patience is running dry. I'm fed up with life, and most of all, fed up with myself, and all the things I didn't do, and worse yet, all the things I still have to do, or else.
The best way to combat this? Keep on going, a step at a time. Look on the bright side, for the silver lining, and one day at a time. Sound familiar? Sometimes the most obvious cliche's are really true.
As I do look on the bright side, it doesn't get much darker than it is now. Pretty soon we'll start gaining back light in the evening. And though it may be dark early, we have the wonderful distraction of Christmas to make things go very quickly.
As far as being productive goes, I created a wonderfully busy month of activities at my facility. Now I just have to follow through and show up for work every day and do my job! And learn how to ask for help when I need it. And take a little time off when January comes!
Have a wonderful December!
