So this week has come and is almost done, its been one heck of a week and though I can not say I have had any ugly stuff happen I am just so mentally tired it’s getting on my nerves. I am happy that tomorrow I will be jetting off to Brussels for my personal weekend getaway, I can not wait to see the weekend and enjoy it in another country.
So this week the Good the Bad and the Ugly went as follows
The Good
Over the weekend my sister and I went to Brighton for our sisterly weekend getaway where I had the opportunity to review Travelodge Brighton, it was fun.
I received a bunch of lovely products to review and I am so excited.
Though in pain my T-25 has started to pay off I am so happy.
The Bad
I work 9-5 but lately have been working 8am till 10pm leaving me no time to blog nor relax
My fatigue does not seem to be disappearing and the pain from T-25 is still present
I am running behind in everything blogging related and it’s getting me all stressed.
The Ugly
STRESS
That has been my week so far, how has your week been? Done anything fun?
How do you manage stress?
CourtneyLynne says
Ughhh it must be something in the air because I am never behind when I comes to blogging and I just happen to be very behind at the moment… Ughhh… So stressful!!! Lol
Miranda says
It must be, the stress of being behind is adding to the stress of being stressed lol.
Shannon Peterson says
I am totally behind on everything blogging as well! I hope your week is less stressful this week!
Miranda says
Thank you Shannon I hope so too
Liz Mays says
I hope your pain diminishes! I get stressed when I get behind on blogging too. I feel you there!
Miranda says
It’s crazy to think the one thing we love doing is the very thing that can sometimes cause us the most stress
Lovely says
I manage my stress but getting away….quick vacation or staycation but it sounds like with everything you have going on the sisters get-away did you no good.
Miranda says
I have come to the same conclusion so July is all about staycations and getaways
Jacob Fu says
Awesome to hear that T25 is paying off! I’m just getting into my P90X groove now too.
Miranda says
I saw the P9ox videos and wow I applaud you
Brea says
I’m sorry you’re stressed! It sounds like you had a pretty awesome week. Do you take some reflection time during your day to just be?
Miranda says
Thanks Brea, I think I need to take some time and just be
Chris G says
Hope you have a great time in Brussels. I would love to get a personal vacation like that too. How fun.
Miranda says
I had an amazing time thank you, can not wait to go back
Jaime Nicole says
Looks like you are busy as always! I try to get through the stress by organizing things into actionable items that I can check off to feel like I am making progress – even if it’s small (like item #1 might be ‘make a list’).
Miranda says
Currently all my actionable items are out the window, I am working on nott at the moment lol
Coolchillmom says
Well I am glad for your getaway. Sometime work gets the best of us. I manage stress with a good laugh
Ave says
Wow, you really work a lot! I hope the trip to Brussels gives you some down time and you can relax a little! A hot bath helps me when I’m stressed, or a good book too!
Angelic Sinova says
Stress is the worst! I’ve been feeling so stressed lately. Between work, blogging and freelancing wiring on the side, it seems like I never have any down/me time but it’s worth it. I just need better time management skills <3
Jeanine says
Oh my! You sure are busy. 8a-10p work? You are going to burn yourself right out! Hope it gets better and you can get out of work at a decent time to relax!
R U S S says
I get stressed too when I’m behind my blogging stuff, lol. I usually have at least 3 blog posts that are scheduled so I don’t worry about being way too behind. You might find that helpful. But please girl, I hope you try to get out of work earlier. 8AM to 10PM is so not okay.
I know you super look forward to the weekend getaway to Brussels, enjoy and have an awesome time!
Rebecca Swenor says
It sounds like you had an amazing time with your sister which was a positive thing. It is so hard to work and not get behind when you are in pain. I usually rest every couple hours when I am hurting but I am working at home too. I will sometimes be super sore and go for a walk no matter how bad it is for me. I tend to over due things and pay later for pushing it. My week started out bad because of being sick but ended with me feeling better. Thanks for sharing.
NYC SingleMom says
working 8-10pm. Those hours seem so long ago for me. It only works when you are young and new to working to be able to handle those hours. Handling stress for me over the years is forcing myself to take time to either getting a pedicure (yes its an hour but so worth it) or just heading to the book store and paging through fashion mags or gossip mags.
Amanda Tempel says
My week has been okay – I worked too, and we started on a major clean up, which we’ve been putting off for a while (Preparing for baby.)
I totally get the work thing.. It sucks. I’m working less now, but at my last job I work 9pm to 730am every day. It was absolutely terrible.
Heather says
8 to 10pm? How is that legal!? I understand your stress. I hope you can get a break real soon. Sounds like traveling outside the country is exactly what you need!
Ourfamilyworld says
I walk almost every night and that’s how I relieve myself from stress. The breathing exercises that I do while walking helps a lot.
Mindy@farmfitmama says
It does seem like Summer activities wears a person out!! I am attending my Zumba class this morning and then we will be going to a friend’s wedding today. Hopefully tomorrow will be lazy Sunday to rest up!
kara says
Your Brighton get away at the travel lodge sounds lovely. I really want to make plans for a wknd break too. lovely post. k x
Kris says
My week has been pretty busy with work as well to be honest lol I manage stress but breathing lots and then having a sip of wine after work 😉
