Feeling Unmotivated Again: The Struggles of MY Real Life

[@caramoonlynn]

Awwww. Little Peggy loves her mummy.

[@MySemiSortedLife]

Lol - she does... she's such a blessing.

[@caramoonlynn]

@@MySemiSortedLife that's great. My sister was just gushing over her dog, Janice. I'm not a dog person.

Hi sweetheart, your ten minutes is better than my zero minutes. Give yourself grace to be imperfect, we’re all human. Sending you lots of love and positive hugs.❤

[@MySemiSortedLife]

Thank you so much for your kind words! It's true, even just a little effort can make a big difference. Sending love and positive vibes right back to you! 💕

[@brightenyourcorner951]

I love the real and raw. You are stronger than you know! I see it! You are an inspiration to me , sweet girl

[@brightenyourcorner951]

Oh! And when my oldest girl was little she carried a map of the world around and the place she wanted to visit most was Australia. So it’s a nice touch to watch one of my favorites from your lovely country !

[@MySemiSortedLife]

Haha, looks like your daughter had great taste in travel destinations! I hope she got to visit Australia eventually. Thanks for watching!

[@MySemiSortedLife]

OMG, thank you so much! Your comment totally made me smile. It's awesome to know that I can inspire others. You're amazing, girl! Keep being real and raw!

[@pepperwesley9983]

I totally feel your pain regarding anxiety. You're not alone.😢 It seems like saying you have anxiety makes you feel so judged. I hid in my bedroom this morning when my father in law showed up on short notice. I feel bad for my husband, but fuck it. It's time for me to stick up and take care of myself. Big hugs to you, Mel. ❤

[@MySemiSortedLife]

I completely understand how anxiety can make you feel judged. It's important to remember that you're not alone and there are people who support you. Take care of yourself and remember to prioritize your mental well-being!

[@voodle48]

Mel, I used to feel exactly like you in regards to mental health. Please go to your Doctor and have any medications reassessed. It took me quite a long time to get my medication right, but now that it is, Im 100% better mentally, and rarely have a low day. ❤❤ I have ADHD that was diagnosed as a 48 year old woman, and depression and anxiety since I was 20. It really makes me sad to see anyone sad and feeling bad about themselves.

[@MySemiSortedLife]

Thank you for sharing your experience and advice, I really appreciate it. It's always encouraging to hear success stories and know that there is hope for improvement. I will definitely consider talking to my doctor about my medication. I just didn't like the side effects of the last one. I think I am undiagnosed ADHD too.. but I'm just trying to determine if it's worth pursuing a diagnosis?

🌺🌻🍀💕 I feel you

We've got this! x

[@jendecarlo801]

Talk to your doctor about peri menopause. I thought I was way too young, but it made such a difference knowing and starting treatment!

[@MySemiSortedLife]

I actually did and she kind of "fobbed it off". But I'll just keep plodding along.

[@lyzathompson9434]

Mel, thank you for another great video and for sharing real life. It was you that taught me, progress not perfection 😉

[@MySemiSortedLife]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you found value in my video and the message of progress not perfection. Keep pushing forward and remember that every small step counts!

[@Lanzafan1]

10 minutes rebounding is enough Mel! It's enough to burn calories and get the blood flowing to open up all the tiny vessels, especially the ones in your brain so you would be much less likely to suffer a stroke in later years. If you just aim for 10 minutes, and no more, you might be more motivated to jump on the rebounder more often. I hope you are feeling a little more energetic now Mel, you looked a bit worn out. There's a difference between lack of motivation, and sheer tiredness, mental and physical. I know you don't have a lot of time for yourself but rest is not idleness. Love and hugs 🥰🥰🥰🤗🤗🤗

[@MySemiSortedLife]

Thank you for the reminder! Your encouragement is greatly appreciated! I've successfully done 2 x 10 minute workouts now.

[@FrugalFunMum]

The struggle is real with moving!!! Some days I say to my Zumba people oh if I didn't have to be here I'm not sure I would be - I love Zumba but some days ZZZzzzzzz it's a push ... LOL

[@MySemiSortedLife]

Haha, I feel you! Some days, even the thought of moving a muscle feels like a huge task. But hey, at least we can laugh about it, right? 😄

[@RebeccaShepherd]

I'm an ex personal trainer mel and moving for 10 minutes is definitely better than nothing

[@MySemiSortedLife]

Absolutely! Any movement is better than no movement at all. Thank-you!

[@FrugalFunMum]

Totally agree - I'm a zumba instructor some days its a struggle to get moving (as I'm also trying to do walking to keep fit in addition)

Hi Mel, hope you're feeling better now and you're right about taking vit d with fats it's a fat soluble vitamin, mine is mixed with calcium for the bones. I have no choice about my exercise as my carer will just stand there and I feel like ok I'll do it 😅, but when I came home from hospital at the end of February I could just push down with my arms but not stand up and not sit up unaided, now I am doing 10 or 15 minutes steps twice a day so it works if you do.😊❤

[@MySemiSortedLife]

Hey, Lesley - you have really been through it lately - thank you for continuing to show up for me! It's great to hear that you're feeling better and taking care of your health. Your dedication to doing your exercises is inspiring. Keep it up, and remember to listen to your carer (even if they just stand there)!

[@LouiseUpton-c9l]

Hey Mel, Thank you for uploading. I really enjoy your videos. They are very relatable. Just thought that I would share how I exercise everyday. The only way that I remain consistent is that I have joined a fitness group. I pay for each week whether I attend or not so that makes me accountable and by attending a fitness class I am also not responsible for organising and planning each session. Once I am at a session I can't stop in the middle as I would if I was just at home! I know that this may be difficult to organise around children but I just thought I would share. Most groups have sessions very early in the morning (I go at 5:15 each day) and late in the evening.

[@MySemiSortedLife]

Thanks for sharing your exercise routine! Joining a fitness group sounds like a great way to stay consistent and accountable. I'll definitely consider trying it out!

[@tracyc160]

You got this girl! ❤

Thank you so much for the encouragement! It means a lot to me!

i love the intro song you pick out. live is sometimes hard so sorry for your friend. And exercise is not so fun. i try to do walks with the dogs or long walks with mine husband because i want to lose weight. it is a hard battle for me. Have a nice day big hug Ellen

[@MySemiSortedLife]

Hey Ellen, so glad you like the song and thanks for the love! I feel you on exercise not being fun, but hey, at least you have the dogs and your husband to keep you company during those walks. Just imagine them cheering you on with every step. You got this!

[@kobiejane554]

Change the iron infusion to your RDO I reckon, because likely you won’t be feeling too crash hot after it’s done either.

[@MySemiSortedLife]

I actually ended up with gastro and have had to change it to February!!

[@rachalnocchi5600]

I take a yummy liquid women's 40+ immunity muli-vitamin. I take 2 different fish oil pills, vitamin D and milk thistle as I no longer have my gall bladder and it helps my liver.

Thank you for sharing your routine with us. It's always inspiring to hear what works for others in terms of supplements and vitamins. Keep taking care of yourself!

Hi, is milk thistle good for the liver? I take galle met for the lake of agall bladder, ❤

[@rachalnocchi5600]

@@lesleyharris525 You need to research it and talk to your doctor and or your nutritionist about taking it. Both my doctor and nutritionist said it was fine for me to take a daily capsule.

Good on you doing 10 mins, prob what i should do with having fibromyalgia im supposed to do some exercise and i used to walk loads before now im like nope i cant but i should do something. Got to say Mel i dont know how you do everything you are always mega busy and always up early and on the go constantly. I could do half the stuff you do, your like superwoman 🦸‍♀️ sometimes we over do it and get worn out, hope your feeling better soon ❤ here I uk I get propranolol for my anxiety that's been a huge help, it's eased so much not sure if it's available in Australia though ❤

[@MySemiSortedLife]

Thank you for your sweet comment! It's not always easy, but I'm passionate about what I do and that keeps me going. I appreciate your support and I'm sending you lots of positive vibes. Take care of yourself!
