[quote=Anonymous]Same here, OP!! I just had a discussion with my DH about how I am feeling burned out, exhausted and on edge. For me, the weather and decreased sunlight seems to be a factor. Trying a light therapy lamp now and we’ll see if that helps.

I generally try to not sweat the small stuff and steal little moments throughout the day to recharge.

-during your commute, listen to audio books or podcasts to make the commute more enjoyable and relaxing.

-take one night a week off after kids are in bed. No work, no housework. Spend the time however is most enjoyable to you. No feeling of guilt, no stressing about what isn’t getting done around the house.

-I took a long hot shower over the weekend and felt SO refreshed and relaxed after. I’d forgotten how nice it is to do that.

-a long walk outside or exercising can also do wonders. Just moving your body is a great stress-release.

-only check personal/school related emails at certain times of the day to avoid feeling inundated.

-delegate delegate delegate. To your DH, to someone at work if you can, to an outside source. You don’t have to do it all.

-I read at night before I go to bed. I love to read and wish I had more time. Sometimes I only get 1 page in before I fall asleep.

Hang in there OP!
