Little Victory

[fred2018]

I think mentally I have gone backwards in the last month. But happy to say despite waking feeling crappy , could be anxiety or just a bad period of stress not sure yet but I got up at my kinda normal time and went for a run when really the option of bed was very tempting.

Hey fred,

Good on you for getting up to go for that run, and I'm really glad you've posted here to say that it was a little victory.

It's great to celebrate each success we have in what can often be a long and difficult day.

Nice one!

Go you! (for the run)

How did you feel after the run?

I sort of know what you mean by not wanting to do anything. I get that myself sometimes. I have found that after about 15min of starting that something that I can feel a bit better. Doing that something can be a good distraction than thinking about how bad everything is - well, that is the way I look at it.

We got to take the little wins when we can mate!

Hi fred2018,

It takes inner strength and willpower to beat the powers of the mind.

Well done on your victory!

How are you feeling mentally now? Better I hope.

One small victory leads to other small victories as you’ve been able to do the opposite of what you were feeling..

Hi Fred

Proud of you for going on that run! When feeling down, daily tasks can feel impossible to achieve but this is a huge win! Like Ggrand said, thank you for this inspiring post!

Hope you enjoy the rest of your day 🙂

Thanks Ggrand, I'm glad to hear it has or might inspire others. Just gotta keep up the exercise. Listening to music with the blinds open is a good one for the morning when you feel crap in the morning.

That's true about the 15 minutes probably some inspirational quote I've heard is ' Action sparks motivation'.
