While at the gym yesterday, I found myself distracted and, to an extent, anxious. It became overwhelming. I wasn’t able to focus on my form. I was starting to become unable to lift a weight I had done many times before. The distractions were taking away from my focus and physical strength. I knew I needed to walk away. I realized that I had too many “tabs” open in my head. I was thinking about all of the projects and tasks I needed to complete over the next few weeks. It got to the point where I only finished half of my intended workout before I left.
I’m very thankful to have multiple projects going on simultaneously, but it can be difficult to budget time and effort between all of them. Today, I’m making time to organize myself so I can prioritize these projects.
I have learned that if I cannot be present in the present, I need to take a step back and address what is getting in the way.
