"The only one who can tell you 'you can't' is you. And you don't have to listen"

It's Tuesday. Tuesdays mean Crown and Bridge (aka Fixed Prosthodontics) ALL DAY. They mean 8 hours in the sim lab. They mean I come home tired and usually somewhat defeated because they usually don't run all that smoothly and result in a lot of unnecessary and overwhelming frustration. I usually give myself the night off and fail to do anything productive. I usually feel slightly guilty about that for the rest of the week. 

But today, I decided that Fixed Lab didn't get to win. I left, worn out as always, but instead of vegging on the couch for the rest of the night, I went to the gym for 2 hours. I did an interval class and a weight lifting class. I probably won't be able to move my legs tomorrow at 5:30 am when I am back at the gym, but it was SO worth it! I felt energized and renewed. All because I didn't let Fixed Lab get the best of me.

I think I've turned over a new leaf, and I like it!

So next time you feel defeated, remember the only one who can let you feel that way is you. And don't listen :).
