Ups and Downs

I love the excitement of beginnings, the fresh feeling of possibilities. But I’m sure I’m not the only one who is all too familiar with the frustration that comes when we take the first step into the Valley of Despair. By this point, this process is well known to me, and that’s why I can confidently say to myself: trust the process.

I had a couple of days of low energy, which annoyed me because they arrived right after I was feeling so full of life. I’m trying to pinpoint why the sudden change occurred, and I think it’s because I had a therapy session on Wednesday. Although it was a good session, not the depressing kind, therapy still rocks my world every single time.

I know many people believe that’s a good enough reason never to sit on that therapy couch, my friends included, but I honestly don’t know how I’d cope with the world without it. Yes, it shakes the ground I walk on for a couple of days each week, but at least now the ground has stopped shaking constantly, like it did just a couple of months ago.

And today, it’s Sunday. I plan to do a sort of refresh. I’ve already done my morning yoga. And I hope to bring my energy back in. Who knows, maybe this Wednesday it’ll stay up.
