I had a bad day yesterday. Not necessarily with my health and nutrition, but with my motivation and attitude. I have been working a lot of hours on both Relay For Life and teaching my students. I am spending 11-12 hour days at school pretty consistently, and sometimes I question whether it is all worth it. Does it matter if every student understands why you multiply the exponents when a power is raised to a power? Will all of this extra time on Relay get us to Mega-Event status?
My past history tells me to be careful when I have a bad day because I know this can spiral into a "funk", which can lead to another depression state. I need to isolate the reasons why I had a bad day, and justify my time, work and interactions. I need to keep a positive perspective on each experience and know that the outcomes from my time and work, even if they are minute, have benefits.
I was reminded today, that people are still checking my blog to see how I am doing. People want to know if I need help with my exercising, or accountability for my eating. People still care about my progress. Last month 189 people checked my blog, and I have not written a thing. I feel the warmth of their love and support. Those 189 views just made today a good day!
9,800 total views. That is a lot of love and caring!
