Out of the Fog

Last week, my daughter and I stayed home while she was sick. Our weekday routine got disrupted, leading to reduced productivity and a constant feeling of being in a fog throughout the week. While being “in a fog” happens occasionally, it feels more disruptive as I grow my new business.

Despite my determination to improve each day, I struggled to change my perspective as the week progressed. I ended up sleeping longer, being less active, and letting housework pile up. While I made excuses for this so-called “laziness,” I knew deep down that they were merely excuses.

There are times when our brain and/or body needs a break but this became more than just a reset, I was really just making excuses to live in my fog. To try to get back on track, I did home workouts the last half of the week but didn’t follow them up with eating well or moving my body the rest of the day.

Finally, on Friday morning, I woke up with a renewed sense of motivation to get everything back on track. I learned that sometimes, you simply have to get up and start somewhere, anywhere, to reach your ultimate goals.

This week has already begun on a better note, and I’m excited to be back on track. If you ever find yourself needing a body or mind reset, take care of yourself, but don’t linger in the fog for longer than necessary, as I did. Get back into activities that will propel you towards your goals quickly.
