Hello All,
On this fine pioneer day, I find myself in a slump (listless, uncreative, unmotivated, etc.) I'm curious what you all do when in a similar state of mind (assuming that this happens to other people.) So I'm soliciting ideas on how to break the cycle. I promise to try the ideas and then give a report on which methods were most effective. The wackier the better. Since there seems to be no shortage of slumping, I'm sure I'll get to all of the ideas (except the dumb ones, of course)
Thanks,

I have several, but the one that seems to be most effective is this:
Lay in bed. Keep laying in bed. Sleep a little. Stare at the ceiling. Be totally self-indulgent. Lay in bed till you get sick of it. Usually 4 hours of daylight in bed is more than enough to get you past your slump with increased vigor and a head full of stuff you want to get going on.
I usually kill some people...Video games only of course.
I hear shooting the tube is good. But if you're too engaged to check that out new music will help me out. I usually do chick songs but some I like now are the wreckers and kate nash.
My husband loves the onion (online) maybe that works for guys.
This may not be very economical with how gas prices are nowadays, but get an audio book on tape and go for a meandering, destinationless drive.
A coworker lent me CDs for "The Old Man and the Sea," and it brightens my commute considerably.
Take an iron supplement. Then find something to look forward to -- create something if you have to. Then find a really funny book to read (I used to use Dave Barry's books that were compilations of his newspaper articles) and laugh until you cry. Then literally kick yourself in the behind and clean something. By that point you've worked up enough positive energy to overcome the slump.
Do something irrational that a person of your (distinguished) age would shudder to think of doing.
For example, we went to the drive-in (movie got out at 3 AM) on a weeknight. 2.5 hours of sleep!
Go cliff diving.
Walk all the way to downtown.
Buy a bag of marshmallow mateys. Eat the marshmallows, leave the mateys.
refuse to wear shoes for 48 hours.
I don't know.. it's your irresponsibility.

By the way, could I put a link to your blog on my blog? Mine is http://justforchuckles.blogspot.com. I really enjoy reading your blog. I got the link to yours from Allyson's blog.
Pretty please?
Sure. So how do you know Allyson? She's in our ward.
Sorry about the length between replies. The computer fell ill.
Allyson is in the next ward over, so we must not be too far from each other. I'm in the 8th. I met Allyson at the park with other moms (Betsy, LaRee, etc.)My real name is Cassandra. Maybe I'll see you at stake conference. We'll have Allyson introduce us.
