After saying yes to a favor, it comes back to me when I catch my breath during a workout.
When my family asks me for something, I say yes first. Then, when I catch my breath during a workout, that answer comes back to me.
Scenes
- I say yes to favors first — When my family asks me for something, I say yes. When I catch my breath during a workout, that answer comes back to me.
- The answer came quickly; the thoughts came later — When I got the favor, there wasn’t time to think it through. Only when I stopped exercising did that answer start to weigh on me.
- The day’s fortune doesn’t decide for you — The day’s fortune isn’t a verdict that sorts days into good and bad. Read it as a note that helps you revisit what happened and check in with yourself.
- Take another look at your answer that day — Tonight, open the fortune for that day. Write down what you thought when you heard the favor and what came to mind during your workout, side by side.
- One answer doesn’t settle everything — You can care for your family and look after your own needs, too. You can start by noticing which came to mind first.
