Racquetball was tough this morning. Dorian was back and we played horribly, losing every game. The rest of the day took on an anguished, defeated feel. I have days like this every so often, a gripping feeling of despair and lack of hope. It usually only lasts a day and when I'm aware of it, I take things real slow and only focus on the day at hand. I refuse to feel overwhelmed, even though that's the feeling that always comes up, a wave of helpless defeat I have no control over. The trick is to spin the negative words so that the perspective is different. It takes so much energy to remove myself from this negative state. I survived the day and look forward to tomorrow.
