Day 5 - Internal Conflict

I've been struggling all day. Maybe it's all of the conflict and garbage that vomits out of my TV every day. Maybe it's because I don't get to hang with my BFF this weekend. Maybe it's all of the election propaganda... all of the negative campaigns.

They clog up the roads for 6 months each year and take 10 minutes to put their credit card back into their wallet after paying for groceries at Walmart. Wow. This is pretty negative. I feel much better now, though. This blogging thing could catch on!

I was in rare form today, so I got a little greedy tonight and decided to take back 30 minutes instead of my regular 20. I walked into my neighborhood gym tonight and was surprised at what I heard. Silence. Dead silence. Deep breath in. Deeper breath out. It was just what I needed. ME TIME. Flipped the TV onto CNN and listened to more election coverage, but it didn't seem to bother me this time. Something had changed...right around the time I hit 20 minutes.... I had this flicker of a voice in my head that said, "Don't stop. This feels good." I think it was the endorphins talking. They had a British accent. Who knew?
