Bad mental health day

You're A perfectionist and you're being way too hard on yourself. I just recently went back to yoga after having rotator cuff surgery in August. I'm proud of myself for just getting up and going to the morning class, because I'm not a morning person! I can't do a lot of the yoga poses, but I have a wonderful instructor who shows me modifications. Oh plus I let a "toot" escape loudly the other morning and I was mortified but I've heard toots escape from others so I decided to just pretend it's normal lol. Be proud of yourself for trying to improve your health. And it's ok for your house to be imperfect! My mom has OCD about cleaning and I feel bad for her because she misses out on so much because she's too busy worrying about how clean her house is. Spray a little Febreze and it'll smell good! I dust when I can write my name in it!

Whatever you do, hang in there. Keep positive! Regarding your apartment, can you get rid of any clutter and maybe consider hiring a cleaner for a Spring clean? Take care.

So sorry you are feeling crummy. One day at a time and one thing at a time. ♥️

Yoga is harder than it looks. I haven't tried it in a while but I was working along to a "beginner" yoga video for a while and I SUCKED at it, I'm certain I had terrible form and I failed utterly at even some of the modified poses, my transitions were so sloppy it wasn't funny, it was just bad. I will try it again when I get into generally better shape with diet and exercise - a little stretching and strength training should make the yoga stuff come a little easier, perhaps...or perhaps not. Anyway, yeah, don't be hard on yourself for struggling at yoga.

Changing eating habits is hard, too. I know. I'm going through that as well. It really took reaching a point where I could no longer tolerate the way I felt, the state of my general health, the numbers that came back in my lab work, the fact that I couldn't clip my own toenails, the way my belt dug into my stomach when I sat down, the way climbing a single flight of stairs left me winded... something inside me just broke and I knew it was time, I found the willpower and made a plan. It sucks. There are days that I want nothing more than to go eat a massive amount of Mexican food or something. There are minutes and hours that drag by as I fight the urge to walk down to the kitchen and snack or graze. Changing eating habits is probably harder than changing just about any other type of habit we might have.
Don't be hard on yourself for struggling with it. Make a plan, approach it systematically.

Work sucks. It is what it is. Some managers will never be satisfied with your performance. Some clients will always find a reason to complain. Some customers will treat you like garbage just because they are terrible people. So on and so forth. Do your best, strive to improve where you can, and try to accept that there are always going to be things in life that you have no control over.

Clean a little here and a little there, adopt a clean-as-you-go strategy where you can. Break down large tasks into small steps. You don't have to do it all at once.

There will be days that you have no energy, there will be times that you feel overwhelmed. Life will absolutely try to kick you while you're down. We all face that sometimes. Some days, it's all you can do to get up and put one foot in front of the other, but when you have those days, remember that putting one foot in front of the other is enough if that's all you have to give that day. If you can do any more than that, remind yourself that slow progress is still progress, that small improvements are still improvements.
