Stalling Out

Sometimes I am so happy about being energetically unstable, but not this time. This time I would rather go home and be ready to do things which are waiting for me, fun stuff. Maybe energetically unstable isn't the best way to say it. Whatever, the point is I've been sleeping alot lately. Even when I get plenty of rest I just want to put on a nice CD/DVD and lay on the couch for a few hours (napping). It's not that I even feel better afterwards. I just want to close my eyes and drift off to sleep. Of course then I can't sleep at night and end up getting a total of eight hours anyway. Messes up my sleeping schedule and creates an ugly cycle.

Their have been times in the past when I would hit the couch because I was having trouble dealing with life in some way or if I was super bored. Some people drink, some get very social, and some dive into a hobby, but I tend to power down. Even so this is not one of those times. Life is good right now all things considered. Not lacking in things to do that is for sure and their are no obvious pressures weighing me down. So, unless this is diet/excersise related I'll chalk it up to a rut again. If you've read my "Some mood music?" post a while back know that I go through phases regarding music. The same can be said for many things. Change is a constant. When in regards to either energy or motivation though I call the phases "ruts" and just try to get through it. A rut will usually hit me once every six to twelve months and can last up to a month on its own. I don't know of a way around it.

I might think it were some form of depression but generally speaking I'm not known to be emotionally/chemically unstable. However, I am known to be lazy at times. Nah, being lazy once and a while is one thing, but being lazy for a month at a time is something else.

Still, it's good that I am going back to the GYM tonight and that I got a ton of sleep yesterday. Now, if I would just start eating better...
