Mid-Winter Slump?

I don't know what it is.

The best way I can describe it is the old-fashioned term out-of-sorts.

I've had the feeling for awhile now.

I feel blah.

I feel boring.

I feel very uninterested.

And uninteresting.

Like I have nothing to share.

I've been trying to stay focused.

I've been trying to simplify.

I've been trying to de-stress.

Am I trying too hard?

Or not hard enough?

I want to be like Mary.

Basking in the late afternoon sun.

Full of peace.

Is that possible?

Yes, mid-winter slump. You said it, yourself, you want to bask in the sun! Get some vitamin D-3. Don't be afraid of getting too much: it's winter, your body isn't getting enough sunshine to supply your need for D. You can safely take 5000 units, but experiment to find the dose which helps the most. It will help!

Ah, winter. Isn't it wonderful? I bookmarked this post from Creative Every Day back in December, for the very reasons you wrote above. You may have already seen it, but...

And for the record, I don't think you're boring and uninteresting at all :)

Yes! What Dimple said, get thee some D3! I can't get through the days without it. As for the trying to hard/not hard enough question, I think you have to find the balance point. In some respects it's good if you can just go with it a little, allow yourself to experience the downtime. At the same time, keep making little efforts like getting outside and taking that D3. I hear you though; winter is so hard.
