Sometimes we get out of
whack. Our usual healthy routines of
eating and sleeping and moving get disrupted by a family celebration or
disaster, a work deadline, an injury, or even something as pervasive as extra
traffic. We get tired, stressed,
irritable, over-caffeinated, and generally unpleasant. And that makes it all the harder to take that
first deep breath and start again.
I confess that I don’t
remember a lot about my physics class from high school, but at least one
important concept stuck: inertia. In most contexts, we use half of what inertia
is: a body at rest tends to remain at
rest. Here’s the good news: the other half is that a body in motion tends
to remain in motion. What that means is
that we just need to get started. We can
dig deep and find just enough oomph to start our metaphorical ball rolling and
then it will get easier.
We can do it.
