Grateful for witnessing the spiral instead of being in the spiral via /r/gratitude

I’ve been doing well with my workouts for a while now, but recently my right knee has started flaring up. It sucks. I don’t want to lose momentum. I don’t like taking rest days—but I know they’re necessary.

Today, I noticed the spiral creeping in… but instead of getting swept up in it like I used to, I stayed mindful. I watched it, acknowledged it, and chose to pivot. I’m proud of myself for that.
