Today was so great! I am actually on such a high right now it's unbelievable! It all started this morning when I decided I was going to have a good day and maybe push the boundaries of my comfort zone a little more.
At breakfast this morning I had three options...sit by myself, sit with people from the house that I didn't really know and eat in awkward silence, or sit with people from the house I didn't really know and join in the conversation. Surprisingly I chose the latter (did I mention I was in a really good mood this morning?) and it wasn't that bad.
After breakfast I had my first class, and then the second class was cancelled, so I went to the gym and was finally feeling well enough to actually push it on the bike for the first time in a while. No pain (physically, there was still some mental struggles) felt really good. I missed that feeling of working hard and being proud of what you managed to do in the end. Tomorrow I am going to have a little more time so I can push even harder, and continue getting stronger and stronger. I am actually beginning to like the suffering for a purpose again... I had forgotten how great it feels to accomplish things. I was so pumped after the gym today.
In the afternoon my bio lab was finished early, so I actually got to eat supper which was nice. Then curling, which was also a great time, despite the fact I nearly lost a finger on the way home... really got to remember to check and make sure I have 2 mittens next time, not just one.
After curling I had broomball. This was honestly the highlight of my day. I was kind of wary going into it, just because it was a sport, played on ice, in sneakers, with a stick, sound like a recipe for disaster yet? Add to that people who are also running on ice with sneakers and sticks and it sounds horrible. I was so wrong about this, it was great because everyone sucks. Nobody was really great at it. So much fun! I actually want to play it all the time now.
Today was great, not because I stayed within my comfort level, but because I did the exact opposite. I joined in a conversation at breakfast, I pushed myself at the gym, I tried a new sport and made a complete idiot of myself, but so did everybody else. Sometimes it just takes a little fear and uncomfortableness to make you happy :)
Until next time,
Britt
