Stress is stress no matter where it stems from and if left unchecked what is maybe just a mental issue can turn into a physical one Today was supposed to be a good day but because I chose to grind rather than step back just a little bit I paid for it and ultimately my anxiety manifested itself as physical symptoms. This doesn’t happen often and the dumb thing is it was totally avoidable. On the outside I appear disciplined, motivated, diligent. On the inside my mind moves at a million miles per hour with feelings of panic, inadequacy, and frustration. I love running and what it does for my mind and body, just remember to not treat it as a bandaid for a mind that may require more. #runnerdad #runlifebalance #dadsthatrun #healthydads #mentalhealthmatters
