Yesterday was one of those days when things just weren’t working. Watch to learn what I did to turn things around.

Video Notes:

• I spent time feeling sorry for myself. My self-talk included, “I can’t do anything right today.” 
  
  
• I’d planned to go swimming but began sabotaging myself, “No, I’ll do it a different day.” Until I checked my schedule and realized I had appointments that conflicted with the other open swim times.
  
  
• I made the decision to go swimming even though I felt lousy.
  
  
• While moving through the water I found myself in a more focused, relaxed state.
  
  
• I felt my physical limitations fade away in the water.
  
  
• Swimming became as much a mindset boost as a physical one.
  
  
• Where is your place of calm and focus? Is it walking in nature, reading, participating in a hobby. For me, lately, it’s being in the water.
  
  
• You need an activity that allows you to feel completely connected with yourself. It’s a powerful form of mind, body and spirit self-care.
  
  
• Lastly I share a conversation with a child that occurred as I was getting ready to leave.
