So I will be the first to admit…..Spring has me burned – out!
I had 346457 things I wanted to plant this Spring and I have about 7 of those done.
This morning I woke up to a beautiful cool day and instead of trying to conquer something on my mountain of a to-do list, I spread a blanket on the ground and served myself and the kids breakfast outside.
My way to beat the burnout? Take a break.
Spread a blanket under a tree and have breakfast outside. Soak up some sunshine and inhale the Spring air. Sometimes our to-do list says we can’t take a break, but I did.
Breaks make everyone happier.
And now instead of agonizing over the rest of the things I haven’t planted yet, or the mountain of laundry that I have left to fold inside, I’m going to be thankful for the things I DID accomplish.
I have tomatoes growing, strawberries are starting to turn red, and blooms on my squash, zucchini and cucumbers!
After a day of relaxing and enjoying myself and the kiddos I am ready to tackle the to-do list head on! Amazing what a small break can do.
So if you are battling the dreaded burn-out, take a step back and allow yourself a break. It’ll make everyone else happier too!
What do you do when you take a break?
Taking a break is the BEST thing you can do!! You are amazing!! And those kids are just adorable!!
I love this idea! It’s so nice to give yourself a “pass” for the day and just enjoy life!
We are supposed to get frost tonight!! I still haven’t planted all of my garden. I have a ton on my to-do list as well….
Love this. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
I relate. I have a hard time making myself stop. I watched The Hobbit with my boys last night and really got away! Love your photos!
That sounds like a lovely way to start the day! To do lists seem to always be there, standing in the background, but we all have to put the brakes on and just enjoy the day sometimes 🙂
