Day 5/90

Struggle:
Once again I’m struggling with my Dad’s decline. He is so miserable and agitated and confused. It was not a good visit at the psych ward today. I’m trying to figure out what good I can turn these feelings into and how I do that. I hate these feelings. I was pretty much useless professionally the rest of the day after the visit. Totally exhausted.
Win:
I did not eat my feelings, which is a huge win.
(1) No alcohol
I did not drink today.
(2) Movement
It was a recovery day. My legs were talking to me after all the squats Monday with my trainer. I did get two short, deliberately slow walks in (one with Rory on the trails 😀) and got to yin yoga class tonight.
(3) Hydration
I hydrated well today.
(4) Nutrition
Somehow, I ate extremely well today. Regular protein bar and shake breakfast, tuna for lunch, salmon and veggies for dinner with some peanuts. No candy, no other nonsense. I was too tired for it.
(5) Mindset
I listened to my morning guided meditation.
(6) Community
I had reached out to a friend last week who’s been through some family stuff with Alzheimer’s. I chatted with him for about 1/2 hour about these feelings and dealing with difficulties like this. It was a really good chat.
Tough day. Feelings of deep sadness, anger, helplessness, emotional exhaustion. Glad it’s over. I’m off to bed.
