Do you ever just feel discontent?

I think every busy person experiences that mood. You just do so much that when you get a breather you don't know what to do with yourself and you find have time for you worry and aniexty to catch up with you. But as my grandmother says this too shall pass.

I have a baby and I have felt this way. Honestly for me I think that it is because I rarely get a break from my baby and once I do I have no idea what I should do. lol I will jsut kind of sit somewhere, bored. Knowing that I have tons of things that I should or could be doing but not sure where to start or if I even want to start. Sometimes I think it comes with the parental territory.

Absolutely. I usually assume it's hormones, and it will pass. It doesn't hurt to do something nice and indulgent for yourself, though. Take a bath, eat some chocolate, go shopping, run, read a book.. whatever floats your boat. Other times I really enjoy my funk and indulge my sadness by watching a sad movie and having a good cry. Or, I yell at my husband, which isn't something I recommend, but sometimes just venting helps :-P

I was always the same way when my kids were little and I suddenly found myself with time on my hands. There were always things that I knew I should be doing, but none that I felt like doing. Just try to enjoy any of these breaks that you get, and take life as it comes.

Hi, hope you are a bit better today, I understand your discontent, and when I get a feeling like that I am the type of person that has to hunt it down and find out why, I think a lot of my discontent comes from feeling powerless, or fear, or helpless,or of my expectations some how have not been met. I know I can not have everything my way, but usually those feelings come when it in fact should have, and for some reason beyond my control it has not. I am usually A very cheerful person as well but there are days that this will hit me, I do try to figure it out because with all the real problems in my life I have I do not need something niggling in the back of my mind as well.

What I do in these kind of situation. I just relax and rest. I think these are signs of over fatigue and stress. And to work more or make yourself busy, won't do any good. Maybe drained you more. So when this happens to me, I fix myself some pancakes and hot chocolate and together with my daughter, we enjoy the moment. Watch tv. And just relax tru the day. Have a great day Moonmagick! Stay Happy! (^^,)
