Here's a new recipe I came across for curing deflation.
INGREDIENTS
1.Talk through deflated thoughts with Joe.
2. Decide not to decide anything about Dio. If he continues to show positive signs of who he is, take life moment by moment. Don't worry about how he's going to look in the morning, or at the the end of the day - just look at his current presentation.
3. Eat 2 cookies instead of 1.
4. Sleep in and skip the gym.
5. If you're likely to feel guilty about missing the gym, remind yourself that yesterday you ran 6 miles at a 9:43 pace, which is major progress. Then tell yourself that it's good to take a rest day, because tomorrow evening you have the St. Mary's Bell Tower 5k, and you want to be fresh for that event.
6. Since you're not at the gym and have time to kill before heading to work, treat yourself to a yoga mat bag. Yes, it's a superfluous item - surely you can carry your yoga mat under your arm as you always do - but go ahead and splurge on this small pleasure. It helps.
DIRECTIONS
Add each ingredient in the order it is listed. You can never put in too much of #1.

ReplyDeletewhat is St. Mary's Bell tower (and where)
Enjoy it whatever it is.
Talked to SHirely last night and she was feeling bad for you and Dio too. That situation will resolve itself if you go moment to moment. And you will do it right. You always do.well its 645 and I gotta go do my walk.
