A Case of the I Don't Cares.









Have you ever had a bad day? How about a day where you just felt down? I have, and continue to have them lately. These days are always hard, seems as though the day will never end. I have a hard time finding my motivation. It is never easy to get rolling when you just don't seem to care what happens.

Most of the time it is the rainy days, or the winter days where I can not get outside. Lately, it has been most any day. I have been struggling to shake them. It is like being in a fog and just not caring. Do not misunderstand, I seem just fine on the outside, most people would never notice. It is almost like I can not get enough sleep. I am physically tired, my body will hurt where it normally does not. It is funny how easy it is to come up with excuses of why I do not want to do something. I am to tired, I need to do something on the Internet, or many other of the easy excuses we all use. 

So, what do you do to kick the I Don't Cares out of your life? Well, for me going for a walk outside always has been a way for me to clear my head. It is good for my soul to be outside, I do not think humans are meant to be trapped inside all the time. Another thing for me is to start and finish a project. It is always good to finish a project, it gives me a sense of accomplishment. I try to find a little project one I think I can get a quick victory and remind myself things are going to be OK. If I just can't seem to shake the I Don't Cares, then I can always spend time playing with the kids. No matter how bad I have the I Don't Cares the kids are always an instant cure. 

So what do you do when you have the I Don't Cares? Do you go for a walk? Do you call a friend? Let me know in the comments below. I find as we move into the fall to be followed by winter, it is best to remember we all get the I Don't Cares and you are not alone. If nothing else seems to work just make it to the next day with the hope of a new day and new feelings. To me the most important thing is to Hang on, Hang in, and Don't quit.
