Slow and Sluggish.

I have been sluggish since yesterday. I was able to reply to some notifications, but time passed by, and it's all like a blur to me. It is one of those days when I feel like I am moving, but not really getting much done. My energy is low, and even simple tasks feel a bit heavier than usual. Maybe it’s the weather, or maybe I just need proper rest. I tried to be productive, but my mind keeps drifting, and before I know it, hours have already gone by. I guess it’s okay to have days like this sometimes. Not every day has to be fast-paced. Hopefully, tomorrow will be better and I will feel more refreshed and motivated again. Do you also have days when you feel sluggish and unproductive?

Oh yes, and the past few days have been just like that. I’m hoping to “snap out of it”. I hope you are getting enough rest. Maybe you could use a multivitamin? The increasing heat surely is no help.

@rakski I slept about 11 hours last night, but that’s better than 18!

It usually happened to me during winter time, when it’s so cold to go outside.

@rakski I can imagine. I still have to wait for summer here when I can use my dress again and don’t have to wear socks.

Oh yes, I just kind of wrote about that. For me, it is just losing interest in things, but hot weather helps nothing

@rakski I just take a break until I feel like doing something again.

It happens at times. Today afternoon, after some regular office tasks, I did not feel like exerting much. I did check on important things from time to time, but no haste. Some days so many ideas come floating to our mind and so bare minded are some other days. Well that is life ! Have a great Friday !

@rakski The days when our mind is full of ideas we feel like on the top of the world. And in case of none, we feel like a less brainy fellow !

You are absolutely correct. There are days when those ideas are all in the brain waiting to be executed and times when there are none at all

Yes, I do... And some days I don't even get out of bed until I HAVE to get up for some reason. Nobody is here to make me if I don't feel like it.

@rakski You can't miss myLot unless you or one of the kids doesn't feel well. We'd miss you.

I definitely have days when I'm sluggish and don't' the energy to do even the simplest things. I wouldn't be surprised if it's the weather. I know a big change in weather makes me tired.

@Marilynda1225 I don't like sweating too much especially when not doing anything. Though I like the sweat when I exercise

The heat is very tiring. I don't want to sweat all the time

@rakski I agree that it being too warm can really make you tired. Sweating is a big thumbs down for me too
