I’ve had two good days back to back and they both started with morning exercise which produced endorphins and general positive feelings. I carried them with me through the days and this helped me deal with the regular old annoying stresses and complications. No big surprise, my food and eating have been more on track — and keeping them there has been less challenging.
Have I ever shared the acronym P.A.C.E.? It means Positive Action Changes Everything. This is a particularly good reminder for me. The rightness of it is illustrated by me making sure that I roll out of bed early enough to get in a morning workout. When I experience the difference in how I feel on days like today versus a few days when I don’t get in enough physical activity, it sure makes sense.
I won’t always do these things perfectly, but I sure can keep making the effort on most days. Again, it makes sense to, ahem, P.A.C.E. myself.
Glad you are managing well. I like the PACE thing. I’ve spent time this week accomplishing positive things. Unfortunately, I lack balance so one day I worked in a friend’s yard until I hurt (still hurt, btw), then the past two days I spent entirely on my computer. I accomplished things, but they were equally unbalanced. So PACE and balance: my goals!
