When you're having an "off" day

I had an “off” day on Monday. I was feeling dizzy and was stuck in an endless day of Zoom meetings. Lots of staring at the screen, but I felt really off and my eyes would not focus. The way it made me feel really freaked me out so I was lucky and was able to get an appointment at my eye doctor. Diagnosis: extreme dry eyes. I never experienced that before — even after having eye surgery.

A few other odd things happened this week that continue to circle in my brain, looking at each scenario, and what I could have done differently. I had the thought: “I was not showing up how I wanted to show up.”

Then finally a new thought: “I did the best I could this week.” That takes me out of my funk and feels better in my body.

So often we think about what others are thinking about us. Someone told me early on in life that we often obsess what others are thinking about us but really they spend most of their time in their own thoughts (and some are only thinking of themselves).

What thoughts are cycling through your mind about your week? And are those thoughts serving you? If not, what new ones can you think that feel different in your body?

Feel free to share!
