Tough day: could be an understatement

Today’s rating is Negative.

Work was hazardous to my health today. One issue had me so stressed that I couldn’t breathe properly. It took a lengthy amount of time to relax and breathe again. Afterwards, I went to the gym to try and cheer up with positive endorphins. I had my first workout with a personal trainer and I felt like a failure. I am a weakling when it comes to throwing balls and doing the plank.

How I overcame these challenges:

I prayed to God and that helped a little. I asked for positive feedback and I got some encouragement from my mom. I also accomplished a task that I don’t like but needs to be done, I vacuumed the floor. I have to remember that tomorrow is a new day. I can leave the issues, struggles, and poor thinking behind me. Thank you Lord for helping find the strength! Thank you friends for your encouragement too!

Healthy Choices

Today’s rating is Positive.

I made some healthy choices today. First I spent some time planning with a health coach. I got this service for free from work. I always take whatever is free especially when I need it. After that, I went to the gym and met with a personal trainer. I am excited to see the progress I will get from the extra help.

One of the important issues to watch out for is stress. I read in The 24 Hour Customer that a stressed individual will have a more difficult time making decisions and rely more on the routine function side of the brain. How can we be expected to make healthy choices when we are living with bad habits?

Today, I made some goals. I plan on finding some new friends, find a new job, and get more fit. These are some big goals but I know if I can keep my focus, I will be successful.
