Too much focus

Today I am divine focus.

In some respects, it was a big help. It was a trainer day today. I realized some time ago, that pretty much every exercise he announced was met with (sometimes mental, sometimes quite verbal) "uugghhhhh, not this!" I eventually realized how negative that was, and also the fact that if we eliminated all the "not this"'s, it wouldn't leave a whole heck of a lot. Not the reason I joined the gym and signed on with a trainer. So I shifted my thinking to try to be more positive, even if sometimes it is still "the faster I do this, the faster it's done".

When I drew divine focus this morning, the first thing was to use focus at the gym. Doing my warm up, I used the machines that I usually try to stay away from. The deal I made with myself was at least 5 mintues. Some of them I hopped off as soon as the 5 minutes was up, others I was able to push a little further. But my focus was on what I was doing. I was trying to actually feel every muscle, every joint, every movement. When I worked with my trainer, my focus was on giving everything I had. Sometimes I can't give everything 100% energy 100% of the time, but I still push through (like dropping the arms, but continuing the jog...). Today I really focused on not breaking away for longer than necessary. I was pretty impressed with what I was able to push through.

On the cat front, Miss Cleo has come home - we have to give her pills and drops, and monitor her, but things seem good right now. Fingers crossed
