The last couple of days I've felt so tired that I couldn't get out of bed to go to the gym before work. I wanted to. I set my alarm. My body just said "no." I've been terribly stressed out by Master's exam coming up. I felt it emotionally and physically this week. Today I'm feeling much better. Actually, as soon as I got the exam yesterday, read through the questions, and saw that they were all questions I felt I could answer, my headache (that had been going on for like 4 days!!!) finally went away. Hallelujah!
Today I did yoga (it was pretty active!), came home and wrote the first 1/2 of my exam. I feel good about what I've written and I'm feeling pretty energetic so I think I'll head out to the gym pretty soon! :)

Aaaah. Isn't it nice when what we have been imagining is way worse than what actually happens? :)
We put ourselves through such unneeded pain at times, though,huh?
This morning as David and I were getting ready to head out the door--he suddenly said, "Oh, I just got a stomach ache. I have a bad feeling and I'm scared." And I asked--"What are you thinking about?"
Let me explain something quickly. We have this routine where we call his Dada to meet us at the car-- and David and I find a place where we hide and we jump out and yell "Booh!" and try to scare his Dada.
Well,this morning David had the thought that his Dad was already hiding and waiting to jump out at us. :) He wasn't....but through this experience David and I were able to see so clearly the connection between our thoughts/beliefs and how they manifest in our feelings/body--whether accurate or not. It's amazing.
Meanwhile--I've been imagining for you that you would have an easy time with your exam and I am so glad that you are! :) You are so smart and prepared. I know you will do very well.
And on the whole sleep/exercising thing. I am so glad you took care of yourself with this.
I love exercise so much and it is a big part of my living a more HJ&F life--but I think it is a set-up for me if I place it before getting my rest.
That whole HALT thing is right on, for me. It does not serve me to get too Hungry, Angry, Lonely or Tired.
And look at how naturally you moved back into your desire to exercise once you were feeling like you had the energy to do it.
You are so on track, Marjorie! :)
Way to go!
With Love,
Kathy
