Do you ever feel like your life is coming to a standstill? Everything's the same day in day out and you find yourself just getting through to the next weekend. I think it's so hard sometimes balancing work, family commitments, home life and having 'you' time. I have no idea how people manage it but I'm determined to have a better balance.
Every evening I'm guilty of coming home and then staying there until it's time to go to bed. Whether I'm working, cooking or 'watching TV relaxing' I actually don't do a great deal. When you're young your life is filled with hobbies and clubs yet as soon as you mature all of a sudden it stops. Yes I have a gym membership but do I ever use it? No, why? because I strongly dislike the gym and when I do go (probably around once a year) I go alone.
I'm challenging myself to do more. I need to find out what I enjoy doing as right now, nothing springs to mind! I'm going to make efforts to join a club or find a hobby that I enjoy and actually look forward to doing during the week. I don't want to fill up my weekends as they're my quality time with family, I need to fill my week day evenings up with things that inspire and motivate me.
Ideas I've had so far
1. Join a baking class (I've been planning on doing this for such a long time!)
2. Find a workout class I actually enjoy and will go to every week (praying for this one)
3. Read. I absolutely love reading and recently visited a library and just wished I could have stayed there. I don't seem to have the time to read but can easily read 2 books on a weeks holiday. Well I am going to make the time! I am going to read.
4. Switch off. I spent majority of my time on an evening scrolling through Instagram and refreshing my Facebook newsfeed. It wastes a lot of time and actually achieves nothing. I may have an hour an evening where I turn off my phone, perfect time to fit my reading in!
5. Socialise and see friends. I always leave seeing friends to a weekend... what's the harm in popping over for a cup of tea one evening if you're both free?
6. Blog more!
Some of you may have lots more ideas but these are a few that spring to mind for me. I'm going to keep working at it and will update you all on how it goes! Don't forget to follow me on IG and send me your suggestions! :)
