Refreshed, Reset and Accomplished

I know I'm not the only one who has those days, weeks, month (however long it may be) where things get to be so overwhelming and heavy that you just need a day to reset and refresh yourself so you can then be able to pour into others and do what needs to be done the best way you can.  That has been the past few weeks for me.  Between the craziness of kid schedules, dance recital week and the emotionalness (is that even a word) of the past few weeks I really needed one of those days to refresh myself.  Today was that day for me.  

No I didn't take the day and just relax and do nothing.  I used the day to get so much accomplished and marked off my to-do list.  The sun was shining and it was wonderfully warm out so my hubby and I set out to get everything done outside that we have been needing to do.  Yard cleaned up and mowed, garage cleaned, 2 trips to the transfer station with all the garbage that had piled up over the winter months, broken toys and yard waste.  Then came in and got the house clean, laundry done, and finished the day with a wonderful yummy dinner. 

I love how busy days like today feel when they are finished.  Accomplished, refreshed and ready to tackle a new week.  I have a state inspection for my license coming up and now I feel good and ready for it.  I can breath and focus again on what I need to focus on.  

So what do you do to refresh yourself when you are feeling overwhelmed with all that's going on around you?
