I literally do the SAME thing! Omg! Everytime. For some reason it makes me feel like I’m in control of SOMETHING.

I'm very similar in that I can only really have one major element or event of my life under control and in order, at any one time. So at the moment, I am also very busy with and at work. When I get home of an afternoon, all I have the energy for is to collapse on the lounge and look at pretty pics on Pinterest while the latest trashy Reality TV show plays on the TV in the background. Bliss. But my house is also a bit of a brothel at the moment and needs attention. And do you think eating a packet of chocolate Tim Tams for dinner is a healthy option?! Wake up call for me too - thanks for sharing Alex, you have definitely inspired me to give myself a kick up the bum!
Cheers,

I totally feel the same way. Too much to do. Not enough time to do it all. My husband made non-paleo cookies and I ate more than I should have this weekend. So not eating good when busy is a downfall of mine too!

I know how you feel. My husband and I are still in the funk with trying to unpack the new house, working insane hours, and balancing everything else. Since we’re on the go so much, we have a tendency to eat out. A LOT. I get to the point where my body just shuts down and goes, “Nope. I feel like crap. Time to stop.”

All I can say is I can relate, and don’t push too much pressure on yourself; you’ll make it through the fog.

Junk food. I avoid it by working out first thing in the morning. It makes me feel as though I've really accomplished something right at the start of the day, plus I'm less inclined to ruin that hard work with crappy food.

TV, I watch trashy TV when I’m overwhelmed, although those are the times i seem to work out the most! So – half bad half good

I was just thinking about this this morning. I feel like I spent my whole weekend catching up and getting things done, and now when it comes to Monday morning, I’m overwhelemed and just want some rest. Many times when this happens it’s because I’m not getting enough rest so that I can actually tackle everything and do a good job. If I just keep going, nothing will be done properly. So when I get overwhelemed, I set a timer for 10-15 minutes every few hours to do something completely un-work related, like read this blog. Sometimes I’ll take a 10 minute nap, walk around the neighborhood, doodle in a notebook or make tea. It’s all about balance, and sometimes you have to make yourself stop for a sec so you can do it all.

I struggle with it all the time which is why toys are always out and about (they get brought back out as soon as i put them away anyway).

I completely understand! When I get busy I just let my apartment go completely. I stop cleaning up, and it’s just a mess of clothes and papers everywhere. Usually it ends up stressing me out even more because I can’t think clearly in so much clutter, so I end up breaking down and cleaning everything up.
