Physical: TOTAL WIN! (exercise, rest, diet, sleep)
Willpower: PASS (cleaning)
Emotional: PASS (walking in nature, dog)
Social: PASS (visiting with friends)
Yesterday was definitely a low day in terms of my physical and emotional states. Walking felt more like a drag than a joy, and I had no drive for extra exercise--which I think is perfectly healthy and natural. While I haven't done formal yoga in a while, I've done a lot of incidental poses, like doing planks in the living room for a few minutes or doing chi kung isometric exercises while watching TV. So I think I was just in need of a rest day.
I also had an emotional low. I went downtown with the intent of finding adventure, but just sat in a restaurant, people watched for a bit, and then came home (though I did manage to pop into a board game store to pick up Snake Oil on the way).
But I went to bed early last night, had a nine-hour sleep, and now I feel much more eager and spry physically and emotionally. It's amazing what exhaustion can do to your mood (and, correspondingly, what a good rest can do to it too).
