When all the negative thoughts you’ve pushed into the back of your head for the last few days suddenly well up inside of you because you pushed yourself to your physical limits during an agonizing workout and your emotions decide that if your body can give up they can, too…and you have a mentally draining problem set to finish. What do you do?
I take five minutes out of my life to write a poor-quality, short blog post about it. Then I go back to slowly making my way through the problem set without really retaining any information. I mean what else can I do? I don’t have the energy to cry. I don’t have the guts to go to sleep without finishing this work. I don’t have a best friend who will answer his phone when I need him most.
