Unmotivated

This year beginning has been full of a lot of wonderful changes and most ... ok all ... of them have been exhausting. We've moved into our forever home, gotten married and are now expecting baby boy #3. Between feeling huge and sleepy and doing my best to build my business, keep the house clean, homeschool, be an attentive wife and partner, be a good and fun mother and keep my normal 9-5 running smoothly... its hard to stand up some days. I want to have more energy and get everything done and be on top of it all... but it all seems impossible sometimes. I struggles with social anxiety and depression and it can be overwhelming at times. I do my best to eat well and spend as much time as I can in the sunshine to try to keep everything bright and positive and then something simple like it rains for a few days or a client isn't 1000000% over the moon with their images or I deal with an unhappy customer at work and it's like a wrench is thrown into the system and it takes a week to find it and dig it out. Do I love absolutely everything about my life? Damn right I do. But that doesn't mean it's not incredibly hard some days... some weeks... to be motivated. Do you struggle like that? Sometimes I walk on this balancing act so well and then other times I feel like I can't stand. How do you get out of the slump and back on track? It's coming up on a busy season of family photo sessions and sports sessions as well as my kids activities and before I know it, I'll be on maternity leave waiting our little buddy to come over earth side. Time is absolutely flying by. It's time to get motivated. Or maybe just fake it till I feel it?
