How I'm feeling now compared to this morning: 95% better
My first thought when I woke up this morning, achy and shaking, was, "Come on! Strap on your shoes and get moving. You can work through this."
My second thought was, "Or you could stay in bed and you would be back in your shoes at pace a lot faster."
The mind is a funny thing, the moment I decided to go with the second thought, I immediately started thinking that I was weak. That anyone else would just keep working through the sick. That I would never get anywhere if I didn't get out of bed!
Hindsight is 20/20 though. My mind was wrong! I am so glad I took the time to take care of myself today. I was able to be more present for my family this evening because I wasn't wiped out after pushing myself all day. And I didn't spread germs to everyone at work!
Today's Motivation:
Sometimes, you have to take a sick day and take care of yourself if you want to be able to take care of your goals.
Self-care is a smart choice! And you didn't spread that cold around!!
