Not everyday can be clean. Yesterday, I felt off. I wasn't feeling as motivated as I have been lately, and I was having negative thoughts that I couldn't chase out of my mind. I woke up really tired even though I was in bed at a decent time and slept fine. My exhaustion stopped me from going to yoga, and kept me glued to the couch most of the day.
Here is my issue, yesterday was my day off and I had planned on being incredible productive. And when I saw that my day might not go that way, I was quick to quit. Then of course, it is my nature to be incredibly hard on myself and make myself feel like I failed by not going to yoga, or the gym, or getting my school work done. Then once I've decided that the day was a write off, I am straight up lazy and unmotivated.
I understand that one day of 'rest' is a good thing, and I completely agree. But there is rest which is positive and there is giving up which of course is nothing to be proud of. Really, what I should have done was nap the second I felt off. Napping is a smart way to salvage your day, catch some more z's before the whole day goes to waste. Instead of staying up and thinking about how you should be crossing things off your to-do list, take a quick nap so you can wake up refreshed and focused.
Today, I am motivated, on task, and in a great mood. I had a challenging yoga session this morning, a tea to sip on while I caught up on emails, and a delicious salad while I finished my readings and reports for school. By noon, I felt accomplished and proud of myself!
Not everyday can be the cleanest, you might feel groggy, or distracted, but don't quit and make it a dirty day. Take a nap if it will help, meditate, put on your gym clothes and suck it up! Try to at least cross one thing off that long and forever growing to-do list.
However, today is hump day, maybe a little dirty is okay!
