Hi, weekenders.

Still suffering from anxiety.

I decided to treat myself to haircut and do eyebrows (for me that kind of care for myself means something like swinging for the seats). And I thought I was going to have a panic attack right there, in a hair salon. I managed to gather myself up, but it's just .... I don't know ...

Life is a battle. Anyone that denies that has protectors.
Trach. This is an awesome post.

And that is exactly what I keep asking myself: why I am not anxious when I am in the ring?

And you've got it right. I am on my own there. No one cares how many debts I have and other stuff like that. There is only me and my guts, and how much I can endure. My trainer sees real me, other guys see real me. I feel real me.

Speaking of boxing, today I went to a grocery shop to buy some "non-fitness" food and bumped into my boxing trainer who was also buying some "non-boxing" food))) He said that he didn't recognize me in regular clothes and that I look great.

Anyway, this anxiety is really getting to me.

And this week

I am supposed to schedule meetings with some people to discuss the project and I am completely terrified about that.

Yes, life is a battle.

I am too lazy today to come up with my own definition of resilience, so I will plagiarize a little bit "When you think you can't , you have to do it anyway".

Have a great Sunday, weekenders.
