This is just a thought.

Today at the school pick up I saw my friend, gave her a hug and she asked me how I am. “Shitty” I said and laughed.

I was so delighted by my own happiness about feeling shitty that I surprised myself.

How can I feel shitty and happy at the same time?

So simple.

I felt bad all day, but I kept on saying to myself ‘this is just a thought’ to whatever my mind was telling me.

Whether it was ‘everything sucks’, ‘I’m so tired’, ‘I’m a bad coach’, ‘what if I’m doing it wrong’ – my answer to all those was ‘this is just a thought, you don’t have to believe it’.

I did not go down the rabbit hole and believe these “truths”.

What a relief. Life is supposed to be 50% great and 50% shitty and so I wasn’t fighting the bad part.

I just allowed it to be there and recognized what was creating it for me.

Can you imagine yourself a bad day that actually kinda feels good?

That doesn’t add up, does it?

But there is some peace to it.  I felt bad because I was thinking thoughts that made me feel bad. That’s it. Not the end of the world.
