One thing that kills a great workout is when youโre ruminating about the past; an argument from earlier, something someone said that rubbed you the wrong way, a mistake you made that you wish you could go back and correctโฆ๐ซ
We can all relate to turning these kinds of interactions over in our head, and taking them with us to the next thing in our day.
It can be hard to let go, but letting go, even if temporarily, allows you to be in the moment, focus on the task at hand, and even return to the issue with a fresh perspective and better solution! ๐ค
