Today was pretty typical at work - bullying banks (no love for the BOM), cranky compressors (MUCH less love there), sarcastic staff (apparently I sabotaged the compressor just to make their day more annoying) in other words... business as usual. When faced with these obstacles in the past I haven't always listened to my better angels. I have, on occasion, found myself resorting to short tempered grunts when each new fresh hell unveiled itself.
Today was different. I find the energy I carry with me afforded by the healthy food and exercise I now depend on (holy crap... when did that happen) just makes days like this a whole lot easier to bear. Do I get short tempered still? You bet: it's just not my go to fallback so often.
3 months in I wonder when I'm going to stop marvelling at the small, everyday changes in my life. The decision to eat well today and workout completely impacts how I'm going to deal with tomorrow's challenges. It gives me more patience, motivation and , yes, energy to want to give my best to those around me instead of just hoping I've got enough juice left in the tank to face "one more thing".
