For the next four months I have some movement restrictions. Basically, everything that I would normally be doing for training. At times like these I tend to create elaborate, impractical, unsustainable training plans working around the injury, and stress every moment about losing ground. Not this time. This time I can see that I am choosing to avoid movements because my long term health (and ability to see) is more important to me. So for this challenge I will lighten up, relax, and not try to cram in extra tasks to make up for the things I can't do. The bright holiday lights can chase my anxiety monster away for a while. Holiday Challenge Goals 1. Brighten up. Catch myself when I am in a stress spiral and interupt the thought, then go do something fun. 2. Eat lightly. Plan most of my meals to include fruit and vegetables, and batch cook as needed. 3. Move gently. Strictly obey the instructions to not pick up anything over ten pounds or do any impact exercises. 4. Stretch. Nightly before brushing my teeth, do some stretching.
