How to Make Yourself Adult
When you don’t wanna!
I know I’m not alone in that childish wish of wanting to be a grownup. Just waiting until you were old enough to make your own rules, watch what you wanted when you wanted, and eat what you liked instead of having to finish all your peas before leaving the table!
Then when you become a grownup and get out on your own, you realize how many responsibilities come with it. It’s no longer that ideal, carefree, and fun thing you imagined. You have to do things.
Then you get married, have kids, get divorced and end up a single parent of four children…and responsibility becomes overwhelming.
So many days I don’t wanna.
So many days I lack the energy to even wanna.
So many days everything in me says “I can’t!”
The best way I’ve found to force myself to adult for the day…
Treat myself like a kid!!
You feel like it’s a wine night. Well, you need to accomplish something in order to pour yourself that well-deserved glass of wine! Did you fold the clothes from the dryer? YAY! Go you!! You get a glass of wine!!
What? You want another glass of wine? Well, maybe you should put another load in…
