Luke Likes 'Off Day'
It's Sunday today, it's Sunday, it's beautiful, it's beautiful, but this wind, oh god, it is very, very windy. I don't know why, I have no idea. Well, how should I know? How should I know? So, what I do know, what I do know is that first, my plants don't like that, don't like that at all. And second, no tennis and no basketball outdoors today either. Life.
Either way, either way, so anyway, either way, either way, I'm having a pretty good day, a pretty good day. It's summer and Sunday after all, after all, so I should not complain about anything, but sometimes everything should be fine, but for some reason, reason, for some reason, you don't feel all that well, all that well.
Do you know this feeling? Do you know? Unfortunately, I do too, I do too. And I'm wondering, am I sick of something? Or what is wrong? What is the matter? What is wrong? Nothing hurts, nothing hurts. I don't get any symptoms, at least, I can't see any. But still, still, I'm having an off day. Do you know what an off day is? Well, exactly that, exactly that.
It's not the best day for you. You are feeling a little down, maybe tired. You try one thing or another thing and you can't get any satisfaction. That is an off day. That's how I see it, that's how I see it.
So, physically, you are alright, but mentally, mentally, so in your head, so to speak, mentally, you are not feeling okay, you are not feeling okay. What do you do then? What do you do? That's a good question.
Medicine, take the meds. No, no, no, that's not what I recommend. Probably, probably, the answer is a little different for everybody. So, for me, that could definitely, definitely be doing sports, doing sports, especially outside, outdoors. Well, not today and damn it. That's okay, not that bad.
So, when I do sports, I get really, really tired, but at the same time, at the same time, I can free my head of any problems I might have at the moment. And that's how I cope, I cope, so I manage on an off day, on an off day.
Actually, I used to think that I love sports and I love to be active, but now, I'm sure that this is a coping strategy, a coping strategy that helps me more mentally, mentally than physically.
That's incredible, really, and it's funny how it works. I'm sure this is not just me. My whole family, my whole family seems to function like that, and they are very, very like me, or I'm very like them. We cope in the same way, do sport. Not to keep fit, keep fit, but to feel better, feel better, on an off day especially, and I'm sure that other people do that too.
One of my students, a very busy man, a businessman, a businessman, so a lot of things on his mind, which means a lot of problems, a lot of worries to think about. So he just started, started going to the gym regularly, regularly, regularly, and I saw him the day after that, and he was in such a pain, in such a pain, he could hardly walk because his muscles were so sore, painful, sore muscles.
So I smiled and asked him, oh wow, you must feel horrible, you must feel horrible. So that's it for you, right? Are you kidding? Are you kidding?, he said. Can hardly walk, but never felt better, never felt better.
And this is exactly what I mean. On an off day, just turn it on, turn it on. That's my medicine.
Well, it's your turn now. Embrace the day, people!
