Struggling but make it happen
This week I went to the gym twice and went for a run once, so I can say I worked out three times. That might not seem like much to some people, especially considering I was training much more frequently recently, but it counts for me. Because this week hasn't been a normal week.
I've been dealing with quite a bit of emotional instability, and honestly, it's really taken the edge off my motivation to work out. Exercise is usually one of the things I enjoy most and an important part of my routine, but when your mind is tired, sometimes even the activities you love become hard to sustain. More than once, I found myself negotiating with myself just to get out of the house and move around a bit.
On top of that, I'm also experiencing some physical discomfort. I don't know exactly what it is, but I suspect my body is finally paying the price after several weeks of feeling sad, worried, and emotionally drained. Sometimes we forget that the mind and body don't operate in isolation. Anyway, I try to remind myself that this too shall pass and that, although my pace is not the same as always, continuing to move forward a little is still progress.
Esta semana he ido dos veces al gimnasio y también salí a correr una vez, así que puedo decir que me ejercité tres veces. Puede que para algunas personas no parezca mucho, especialmente considerando que hace poco estaba entrenando con mucha más frecuencia, pero para mí cuenta. Porque esta semana no ha sido una semana normal.
He estado lidiando con bastante inestabilidad emocional y, sinceramente, eso me ha quitado muchas ganas de entrenar. Normalmente el ejercicio es una de las cosas que más disfruto y una parte importante de mi rutina, pero cuando la mente está cansada, a veces hasta las actividades que amas se vuelven difíciles de sostener. Más de una vez me encontré negociando conmigo misma para simplemente salir de casa y moverme un poco.
Además, ahora también tengo algo de malestar físico. No sé exactamente qué es, pero sospecho que mi cuerpo me está pasando factura después de varias semanas sintiéndome triste, preocupada y emocionalmente agotada. A veces olvidamos que la mente y el cuerpo no funcionan por separado. De todas formas, intento recordarme que esto también pasará y que, aunque mi ritmo no sea el de siempre, seguir avanzando un poco sigue siendo avanzar.
