I’ve noticed the mental business of everyday life taking its toll. I’m a Physical Therapist and see patients every 30 minutes without a break in between, and I’m often documenting during my lunch. The constant mental engagement is exhausting, and when I do finally make it to the end of the day, or even the weekend, there isn’t much energy left to have an imagination. I’ve discovered that doing yoga on my lunch break, even for 15-20 minutes is enough of a mental reset. I’ve tried to find more ways to take breaks where my body is occupied but my mind is free, in addition to my morning runs, but there is only so much time in the day.

Glad you’re getting the foot looked at. As you discovered from the informal online survey, there is a lot of varied information on how to treat plantar fasciitis, if that’s what it even is. Kind of like a training plan, it’s best to choose one focused approach and stick to it instead of trying everything there is all at once, and sometimes it helps to have a “coach.” I hope you have a speedy recovery.

I love the weekly tally at the end, especially of bagels, pancakes, etc consumed.
