I think it has to do with the constant attack from the right and the uncertainty of our future. Life is exhausting. The little things seem hard. I set a timer for five minutes in the kitchen. If I unload the dishwasher I race against the clock. My thought is I can do five minutes. On the laundry I keep an empty basket on the dryer. This way I can wash and dry a load and move it to the basket. I can start load two and move it directly to the empty dryer where it can wait another day until I fold both loads! The folding happens with a podcast or music and it usually takes way less time than I imagine. With the warmer weather I am trying to get outside every day even if it is to read and sip water. If I cook I make enough for three meals. One for leftovers another to pop in the freezer. This seems to help. I hope things get a little easier for you. Peace and love to you. . 🙏🏼💗
