This is me signing up for 6:15 am or 7:30am orange theory classes and feeling the dread in the morning after staying up too late the night before 👁️👄👁️ deeply relatable!

It really is a constant battle but omg 6:30am - you are my inspo!!

I didn't say I always go even if I sign up 😅😅 but I love how you wrote about our aspirational selves and like what feels doable in practice but then also balancing with what feels realistic in the moment and whatever we might need that day!! I've learned 6:30am is not usually it for me bc as much as I'd like to be, I think I need longer to unwind in the evening and I'm not going to sleep before 10

So now sometimes I do a 7:30am class instead or a 5pm right after work

Also so interesting how we assign labels to ourselves depending on the action or inaction bc I catch myself doing that all the time and kind of judging myself for what I did or didn't do

Totally and I’m glad it resonated!! It’s interesting how we set “rules” for ourselves to follow and mentally put ourselves “in trouble” when we aren’t able to achieve or follow then. If the goal is reached - we should celebrate it! Orange Theory any time of day is such a great practice so giving you kudos for showing up or knowing when you need extra time to take care too 🫶🫶
