The weather is gloomy today, and I am feeling a little tired and run down. I didn’t sleep that well and the clocks fell back so I’m sure that’s all contributing to my overall malaise. I did fight the urge to stay inside all day, and went to spin class before food shopping:
I have a lot of work to do, and I can feel my stress levels rising. Even though I know it would be a good idea to get busy and just do what I need to do – the truth is, I don’t really want to do any of it. So I am trying to enlist The Killers The Beastie Boys, and Barry McGuire to drum up some much-needed energy:
I keep thinking about last week’s topic – Emotional Eating. In the face of a looming deadline, the dreary day, and the lack of a good night’s sleep it would have been easy to find some solace in over-indulgences and prolonged snacking. Being self-aware is really remarkable because you see your own behaviors through a lens of clarity and honesty. That is a game changer friends.
As I close my post, I want to express my sincere thanks to all of you who read these. It helps to know that my other people can relate to my personal struggles and revelations. I am grateful that I discovered how to use writing as an outlet for ongoing reflection. That is as powerful as following Weight Watchers and getting in regular workouts. More tomorrow…
You are an amazing inspiration to so many.
