Daily Check In Thread #129

Hello family!

Feeling a little pressured today.

I am performing a solo dance this Sunday that I am prepping for. Three and half minutes is a long time on stage alone...

...but I am practicing and excited to have the opportunity.

I am also learning two new songs for our church band...so I am filling my brain to capacity, lol!!

This along with the regular recital stuff going on currently for my dancers...

Practicing postive mantras so much...I feel a bit like Stuart Smalley...haa haa haa..

For those unfamiliar with this silly SNL character...check it out.

Hello. I'm hanging in there today. Trying really hard to stay occupied as work has been busy this week. I'm miffed though. I have been taking a break and doing a 30 minute brisk walk mid afternoon. I leave my building which is downtown, walk two full city blocks out, 2 downhill, then back the 2 full blocks, back uphill the 2 block steep hill to where I started, repeating that circle 3 times briskly. Today I did it four because it's so nice out. My anxiety and muscle tension have been up and of course I breath harder during the walk, especially coming back up that hill. I slightly tight chested by the time I get toward the end of the walk and sometimes cough a little when I get back. This didn't used to happen. Maybe because of spring and stuff in the air? I can't figure out what the heck is up and of course it makes me uptight.
