Must Have Got Lost

I've got so much negativity swirling around in my life right now. Actually, I am swimming in it to be perfectly clear. I know I go through these periods every now and then, I know that its just a brief hiccup in my life. But, that's not to say that I really enjoy it and it makes me incredibly uneasy. In fact, my anxiety level is on a 10 right now.
But all I can do is start over.
That's what I intend to do today. I just need to start over again and be happy. The more I counterattack the negative, the more I will conquer and vanquish. Then I will be back to normal.
I know what went wrong this week, and how to right the ship. First and foremost, I need to move. Yoga to start with, then hitting the treadmill and then either weights or pilates.
Second, eat better. I have eaten junk all week, and I feel it. Not a lot of fruit or veggies, haven't really had dinner either due to having to run out of the house for VBS. I start the day with junk, and it carries forward all day.
Third, more rest. I've been go, go, go all week and its been hard on me. Since numbers one and two rather fell by the wayside, this has been important and I have not taken care of myself this way either.
But I have done other things right, and things will balance themselves out in the end.
Today is Friday, and boy am I glad its almost the weekend. I need the time to regroup and get back to balance.
I hate that lost feeling that I've been dealing with all week, and its time to ship it off.
I know what I am truly, truly capabale of-and I am back on track to get there. Going into the weekend, I have some basic housework to do, have to go grocery shopping (healthy food here I come!)and most of all, relax.
What has worked right for me this week has been the fact that I had both mine and the little man's clothes laid out for the week. I've kept up with the laundry all week (except when we had a water emergency the other day and were not allowed to use water).
The best part of all though, is knowing that all is well when I come home. I am truly blessed with a great husband, and it makes life so much sweeter. I couldn't imagine life with so much unhappiness and bitterness. It really saddens me when I hear people talking about how much they dislike their spouses or what their loved one does wrong on a regular basis. Meanwhile, I am married to a true partner-and he's had to pick up some serious slack. But I know he's got my back, and that's what counts more than anything else.
When I feel like I am lost, I know that the big man will help right the ship and get me back on course.
