Overcoming Depressing Feelings

I wish the time could pause, so we can all take a break.

A break from everything, if it could pause for us to catch up with all the things we have paid little or no attention to because of how busy we are trying to be on time.
A break from daily hustling, working too hard to survive, and saving up for the future. This may sound stupid to you my reader, but it is just what I wish for, when I feel exhausted and there's still so much to be done, or feel tired when I've not even done anything.

Today, after church I spoke with a friend. She told me how tired and irresponsible she feels anytime she reflects on her life. I told her I understood and that I am very familiar with that feeling.
In her case, it's very simple to feel that way because we are on vacation and she's been home all these days doing nothing. You know when you just wake up in the morning, run around with your morning chores, and then there's nothing else to do for the day?

I have been feeling this way too, especially on the days I don't publish anything here so I shared with her the things I naturally do when I'm like that.
I just get up and make sure I do something, I told her. And it doesn't have to be something very big or outstanding. Most of the time I do laundry, I collect all the dirty clothes from everyone in the house and wash them, or sometimes I scrub the floor, toilets, walls, or kitchen. I just do something that makes me feel
tired for a good reason and my happiness returns.
In the end, I will feel fulfilled, and the feelings that make me feel irresponsible and unnecessarily tired will disappear immediately. Things like these also make my mother to be very happy with me and that adds to my confidence and happiness too. It may sound funny but this is what helped me defeat the feeling that makes me feel less important and irresponsible.

It is very therapeutic to some extent, but the biggest problem may be the ability to leave your comfort zone. The strength to get up from the depressing bed or couch may be lacking. Here I let my mind control my body, I have to do this, wake up girl, and get it done!
When once I find my inner strength who is my body to stop me? It is not like I'm sick.

I appreciate ladies who have achieved so much in their lives, who have a profitable lifestyle, and who are self-disciplined. Time waits for no one, and it's running so fast that we may not meet up with our dreams,if we don't get rid of some negative feelings. So if I have only one thing on my mind right now, it would be finding a way to always be responsible; strong, confident, and fulfilled. Even though people say I already am, I want to feel it myself.
