Yesterday was one of those days where everything seemed to go wrong. From cutting myself shaving to spilling my water bottle all over my bed to falling down the stairs, I was basically on the verge of tears when I got home.
Well, last night I slept SO hard. One of my best friends will take these amazingly long naps after really hard tests or really hard weeks where she's gotten very little sleep. I remember reading a C.S. Lewis quote once that said, "You don't have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body." I'm slowly starting to realize that our bodies are these amazing little machines that are completely separate from our minds. Basically, if our bodies do something - it's because it needed to.
So what if, today - I trusted my body to adjust to the changes that I'm trying to make to the way that I'm treating it? I wrote a couple of days ago that I decided to do Pilates to remind myself how strong my body can be. We'll I've kept up with this over the past couple of days. Not a ton - but I've tried to do at least one of my 10-minute workouts each morning and one or two at night. I was SO sore the next day. And the next day. And sure I was sore this morning, but a little bit less. Because my body is adjusting. My body knows how to deal with change. It will acknowledge them and adjust accordingly. My head might have a harder time. But we can work on that.
P.S. Did it.
