Funked out
Ok, I admit it, I'm still in a completely funked out mood. I can't seem to get enthused about training, exercising, anything. I actually dread coming to class (and while this isn't new, it does get old fast). Once I'm there I'm fine! I enjoy working hard with everybody, love the learning, but this still gets me almost every time. Part of it could be the possibility of testing this year--which freaks me out. Could even be the snow! To steal an expression, I'm in a real I DONT WANNNNNNAAAA mood and I'm digging in my heels even when I dont really know why. Sorry for being a downer team, but thats where I'm at.( But yes, I am still doing pushups!)

Keep on keeping on, it will pass.
ReplyDeleteMy advice is ignore that dreaded testing deadline, fear of failure is crushing your spirit. Focus on today ... squeeze every bit of quality/value/joy out of everything you do ... hit the reset button on your sense of perspective ... its not something I HAVE to do ... its something I GET to do.
ReplyDeleteSihing Lowery, I know this isn't going to lift you, partially because this is something that you have control of and is not an uncommon feeling. Take a moment, for just yourself and reflect on all the good that you have in your life and make an extra effort to give yourself a pat on the back for all the hardwork that you have done for yourself through the past years. The sun is getting higher and the beauty of Spring is becoming brighter by the minute!
