Feel lost?

Wow, this morning, and so many mornings lately, both my husband and I, even with help with the babies, feel lost, like … we have a million things to do, deadlines, and even have made lists, but we are kind of wandering around like where do we begin? I have trouble getting out of this mode as quickly as I can. Sometimes it takes me an hour or more and I get frustrated that I wasted that time just getting ramped up. Contributing factors are fatigue, anxiety, stress, and feelings of being overwhelmed. Starting small, most times seems to work for me. Part of being resilient and tough, is just getting up, taking a step, and then another, and another until you are either literally or metaphorically running and doing what is on your list of challenges for the day.

I write this, as I used to write in my journal, and I already feel motivated. I took a 10-minute drive before my first meeting this morning. I made my bed. Those are my smalls that help me be tough and just push through this weird morning phase. What helps you?
