The Power of Stress...and Resolve
stress - A mentally or emotionally disruptive or upsetting condition occurring in response to adverse external influences and capable of affecting physical health, usually characterized by increased heart rate, a rise in blood pressure, muscular tension, irritability, and depression.
Had a rough couple of weeks (yeah, boo hoo, right?). Some work issues, family issues, had a friend pass...but along that process, I noticed some interesting things.
I fell into some old, bad habits, and pretty quickly too. Not eating and sleeping right, prioritizing very poorly, I smoked (dammit!!!), just to name a few. Lost a good 5 pounds too.
But now, sitting here, quite lucid, I know that tomorrow morning, I'm going to get back, try harder, learn more, train harder, be better than, as Rookie said - be better than I was yesterday. It's so easy to not try, easy to languish, or settle, arrrgh, I hate that!! No more! I'm moving forward in my life, and I always want to. And I will as soon as my eyes open tomorrow. I worked out once in the last 2 weeks. It sucked. It's (working out) become a great motivator, release, and source of pride for me that I won't ever forget that again.
I read a lot of all your posts, don't respond often enough, but get so much from what all of you post. It's helped to inspire me on many occasions, and this is no different. They are all new days from this day forward, days to seize, and act upon, and make a difference for me, and those I know.
