Sometimes you go to the gym with great intentions, but end up meandering about or distracted by your phone.
Deep down, when you leave the gym, you know what just happened. That “meh” feeling after a mediocre workout is real.
And so it goes with kids.
Sometimes you enter the afternoon with great intentions, but end up meandering about or distracted by your phone or daydreaming about a problem at work.
And again, when you look back at the day, you know what just happened. That “meh” feeling after not being present is real.
Don’t just ignore the feeling. Name it. Say it out loud. Lean into it.
And next time, get excited about how amazing the opposite of “meh” always feels.
