Well, not a perfect day by any means, but definitely improved.
My schedule was completely out of whack yet again, which threw me off a bit…the morning was essentially wasted and upsetting to boot, so I was not in a great place. However, the afternoon went pretty well and I was able to get my head back into a pretty good place, all things considered. Instead of declaring the day a waste, writing it off and doing whatever I wanted, I feel that I was able to turn it around, not completely but largely. So I feel pretty good about that.
I was despairing a little about the constant chaos that has been in place for the past week or so, but the more I think about it, the more I think it’s not a bad thing. How can I ever retrain myself to be able to be healthy even when my routines are disrupted, unless there is disruption for me to learn on? (If that makes sense.) So this is not an obstacle, this is an opportunity for trial and error. I will use this as a means to figure out what works when I am not on my normal schedule, and what doesn’t.
With that mindset, I am not going to stress about whether I lose this week or not. I am hoping for no gain, and will strive toward that today, but I am not going to be disappointed with no loss. Frankly, staying the same is a big victory after this kind of week.
So it wasn’t a great day, but I think I managed to salvage some of it.
