Going to start a planned February regimen a day early. The nervous energy from our deeply troubled world is difficult to manage. It's not just the awfulness in the news; it's the relentless reminders of immaturity in the face of it all, from so many.
I thought it was bad enough dealing with a tankie in the family post-Ukraine invasion, but whew. The number of people *so eager* to leap further into destruction is tough. I get that walking the knife's edge is, too--but it's better than giving in.
@MLClark Good morning buddy. Routines help me cope.
The world is going to be what it wishes and I have to remind myself sometimes that I don't have to witness all of it.
That's where the routine helps. Little reminders that peace starts with me and the choices I make, some of which includes how much chaos I witness around me.
I hope your day is beautiful. You're a groovy soul.
Good morning lovely critter!
How are you feeling today? Joining me on a run, or resting those lungs?
Today and tomorrow will be tough transition days on the new regimen, but once it kicks in fully I know I'll have better energy. I was waiting for the novel to be finished so I could focus on it more completely, and now I can.
I'm so glad you have little reminders and routines to bring you calm in the fray as well. 🤗
@MLClark All I want in this moment is to stay curled up in my chair, but I need to see it through. I didn't run yesterday, and the last thing I want to do is lose any more ground.
The body is really feeling its age.
If I can get some consistency as you say, it will get much easier.
Glad to hear your novel is going well. I'm hoping my editor will be through the final polish soon.
Time to lure the soft animal of the body toward good things... then reward the heck out of it once you get back. :)
