Feeling moderately uninspired today.It may have been the way it started.
I did a cardio fast which means I ran on an empty stomach, then choked down a protein shake with a huge scoop of ground flax seed. Then I held off on eating til a little after noon. Though it was sprints, I didn’t go that intense or long (only 30 minutes) and then walked at a moderate speed (another 30 minutes). I read during the walk and then for a bit after, and my concentration seemed fine — even generative. But no, there was no writing today. Sometimes, I’m pulled to the screen, sometimes I pull myself to the screen. I like to think I have the discipline to overcome these diffuse feelings when the thought never rises above a murmur and the image doesn’t sharpen, but I couldn’t today. It was easier, so much easier, to be distracted.
I wonder if it was my fasted state or my fed state that was clouding my motivation. Tomorrow, I’m going to fast again. If I go to the gym, it’ll just be for weights. Perhaps just coffee til noon. Maybe I think clearer that way.
