My 3yo didn’t want to go to school today.
Some mild complaints in the car, clinging to me by the preschool door.
Unlike most mornings, I didn’t have any sessions or “must-dos” on my list, just a plan for a workout.
A part of me thought, just pick him up and take him home. Then his teacher said, “It’s time for Mommy to go do her job and your job is to come be you in my classroom.”
Then, another part of me spoke up in my head: it IS my job to take care of myself, focus on me. It’s important to invest some time and energy on that, not just the tangible items on the list.
We make a lot of excuses to avoid turning inward.
I did the workout, it was hard AF. I modified where I needed to. I still showed up for me. We can notice our excuses, what feels uncomfortable - and find a way to show up anyway.
