This week is important to me. I am on the verge of accomplishing a huge feat -- running my first half marathon. But no matter how hard I try, I just can't focus. Running takes a lot of mental preparation for me, and unfortunately, my mind is swamped with trouble and uncertainty. It's just about the last thing I need right now. You know that feeling of having a pit in your stomach? Well, I've had that for four days now, and I just can't rid myself of the negative energy. I feel sick.
I need to learn how to separate out things that I can't control and things that I can. I've been to this place before -- if only I knew how to prevent that from happening. The difference this time is that it is imperative that I vacate this situation fast. There is no room for problems, drama, hurt, or confusion. Only clear thinking, peace of mind, and plenty of willpower.
I am hoping to do just that, and it starts with this attitude: I will overcome my problems. I will run like I've never run before. I will persevere. I will triumph.
