Hello again,
Lately physically I have not been doing so well. Today I am quite thankful for having a better day physically than I have in awhile. It was definitely a nice change. I also took full advantage of it and got a fair bit done compared to what I have been accomplishing lately. Is it as much as a normal person might do? no but for me it was good. This is partly why today I am thankful for being in the process of learning to not compare myself to others. Some days are easier than others and it is sort of up and down but I think I am slowly getting better at it. I know we all have struggles and we all have to overcome them but in a way our struggles are unique yet the same. I am learning that I am physically not able to do as much as other people can for now and I should not use someone else's ruler (so to speak) to measure how much I have accomplished. I need to use my own ruler so to speak. While using the ruler analogy, I would like to add that I am learning that it changes from day to day as well. Some days are bad days and I can't do as much as other days and I am attempting to learn that and accept that as well. We can only do as much as we can do and accept it and move on. Because I am learning these lessons, I was able to feel good about what I managed to accomplish today and not feel like I should have done more. If I compare it to someone who is physically fit then what I accomplished would have been very little. But I am learning to not do that. I feel better about myself when I can allow myself to feel good about what I accomplish. I am also less likely to push myself too hard which only ends in me overdoing it and lots of extra pain. I don't know if this makes sense or not to other people but I know I am not the only one who does this...who looks at what others get done and put myself down because I didn't get as much done. Thanks for reading my blog and this is what I am thankful for today.
