DONE! I just ran 3.42 miles. What makes this run particularly satisfying is that less than 24 hours ago I was curled up in bed feeling fearful of the future and doubtful of my abilities.
I knew the tools to get me out of my funk but I was too consumed with my fears and insecurities to use them. It happens to the best of us. It used to happen frequently in my life.
My fetal-position curl in bed lasted two hours yesterday. Several years ago, it lasted for days. Back then I was prescribed anti-anxiety and anti-depressants.
Today, I allow myself to feel the fear (not easy) and continue to hang tight to my faith and my tools (even when I don't use them). Today, i started my morning by simply looking at my bedroom wall.
My wall of affirmations. The affirmations that remind me that I am enough, that I am strong. And I read my wall... albeit begrudgingly at first. My wall of affirmations is one of my most powerful tools to keep on track. It works. 3.42 miles today!! Woot!!
