Some days I start getting ready when I don’t have anywhere to go just to distract myself for 20 minutes. Once I start feeling restless I just need to pretend that I’m about to go somewhere to make myself feel more calm. Yesterday was that kind of day – I felt like I wasn’t getting anywhere with work, but couldn’t justify taking the rest of the day off. Instead, I put on a little head scarf, did my makeup and watched a bit of Buffy. It felt good to get away, and when I went back to my desk my tasks didn’t seem as daunting as they originally did.
Is the getting dressed up thing just something I do, or do other people to it too? What do you do when you’re feeling restless?

You’re not alone in this. When I’m feeling restless, I do things like journal, pray, do some chores around the house, take a hot shower, read the paper, or go for a walk. I do feel a lot better after. There are times when just dressing up, accessorizing, or putting on some makeup makes a whole lot of difference to my day.
That headband looks great. Love the pattern and the colour of it. Happy Friday!
Oh yes….I definitely get ready when I’m feeling restless. I think it’s a good way to start off getting things done, you feel fresh, and it’s fun

ps. I’m so excited to find another Winnipeg blogger! Do you know of any other Winnipeg bloggers? I’m hoping to create a Winnipeg Blogger Group or do a blogger meet up! Thanks for you help!
Sometimes when I get restless, I’ll get in the car and get coffee and just walk somewhere. Especially when I’m stressed or feel like I can’t get work done. It’s good to just get away for a bit.
