However, yesterday (Sunday) after having completed my requirements early in the morning, my day was so light. I went through the day without having to think about how many more pushups, how much more time in stance. . . Quite nice.
I had not intended to take a day off from Ten Tigers work. As the day went on, and got harder and harder, I decided to take Dean's challenge and take care of myself by giving myself the day off.
It started with an insomniac night, followed up with some plans falling through, then having to defend myself (emotionally, not physically) and now, it appears a second imsoniac night. Since I'm up and my clock is just not at 11:55. I will make a small symbolic gesture and go beyond zero for the day.
Also, I met with Dale Kirby of Kirby's Karate today. Nice guy.
Sometimes taking care of yourself is different than we think. It has nothing to do with a cup of tea, or a little rest and relaxation. Taking care of ourselves sometimes means just holding on ...
ReplyDeleteInsomniac nights can be a positive thing -- though it doesn't always feel that way. Everything's quiet. There's time to think about what you need. The world stops revolving almost. Nobody can call, nobody can interfere, the bills don't come due, nothing can be done until the sun comes up.
