Yesterday was an uber busy day – between meetings – teaching two classes and taking one in between – and today, well, let’s just say it didn’t start off on my best foot…
This morning was one of those mornings. The alarm went off, I got back in bed, I got out of bed, I hustled to get my butt out the door and to the gym to meet Carrie. I was sooo cranky when I first arrived and it had nothing to do with sleep, anything at home, or even the workout. I was just brooding and thinking about my day ahead and hating it before it even had a chance to happen. And it’s true, I have a super busy day today and it’s going to be tough to get everywhere I am supposed to be and also somehow get work done somewhere in between.
But after we finished our workout and I was laying on my mat (we were both totally spent and dazed at the end – ha), I realized I needed to let go of my negative attitude about the day and just let it be what it was going to be. Sometimes all you need is a good sweat and a good friend to put things in perspective.
