I did not feel like working out today.
I was unmotivated. And I was angry. Angry because I am still uncertain about the amazing job I had lined up for summer, angry because the tensions are rising in a household still adapting to isolation (will we ever completely?), angry because watching the news has made everyone anxious about money and that has made tensions rise even more, angry because I still have exams in two weeks even though I am enrolled in Zoom University and nothing feels worth it anymore. Angry because I know my situation is far far from bad so I can only think about those who have it worse.
But I said to myself "this you can control." So I chose something shorter, 25 minutes, no equipment, HIIT with no repeats so I can't even get bored. And I kept telling myself "this you can control." And it was my best workout ever! I pushed through the entire time, full effort for the full 25 minutes. At my peak HR for the longest I have ever been.
So I guess I wrote this to tell people feel down, distressed, and unmotivated like me: this is one of the few things we can control right now. Thinking about that helped me.
