It Goes Well Until It Feels Like It Stops Going Well
Everyone experiences this and has choices for what to do with it.
Things have, despite a lot of craziness outside of my control, been going well of late. I’ve been in therapy again and getting a lot out of it, feeling good about who I am and where I’m going, and it’s all been feeling like it’s steadily improving.
Today, I hit a wall.
To be fair, there were some extenuating circumstances. Yesterday morning I stepped on the scale for the first time in a while — and disliked what it showed me. We had an awkward, uncomfortable family get-together. My wife had to immediately go away for work. I got home late after driving through some wicked nasty weather — which means I both went to bed and got up late. Fencing practice last night was both great and not great.
Despite getting some very necessary housework done this morning — I find myself feeling stuck, stalled, irritable, and out of sorts.
Hence why I’m saying it goes well until it feels like it stops going well.
Every day is unique in its own, various ways. There are always going to be good and bad days. While today isn’t a bad day, per se — it’s obviously not good, either.
