So much for wanting to try out the tip on going in to office earlier. I woke up late today. And so, my perfect schedule unravelled. Running on the treadmill, undone. Eating breakfast at home, undone. And what was worse, my headache persisted.
I felt like giving up. I didn't feel good.
But then, something in me said: No, reframe this situation. And I did. I thought: there will definitely be days when things go wrong, how will I cope on those days? How will I make a recovery instead of squandering a perfectly good day?
And then it hit me.
1. Take small steps.
2. Be consistent.
3. Show up.
I can still choose. I decided to cut my losses and do without the run and breakfast. I managed to get to work at my normal time, and I repeated the three points over and over again.
Today, I wanted to make sure I completed some nagging tasks at work. So I did. I practiced hard focus and put on my music. I was very tempted to join in my colleagues in conversation but I persisted and managed to compete two pieces of work that I've been putting off for ages.
I could go on further. But I think priority here is bed. Will share more tomorrow!
