Still reeling from the events that took place at work on Wednesday, Thursday became a “gotta get thru this” kinda day. With Daniel Bedingfield coursing through my ear buds, I reluctantly accepted the challenge. I made a to-do list and focused on the task at hand, steadily knocking off each item. My work day was unarguably more productive, but my morale was upended. The noise and cheer emanating from the typical hubbub was sorely lacking. My day would normally be filled with bouts of conversation and laughter, but now the office was filled silence. Thankfully, my company allows us to use headphones during work, so it was easy to mask the silence with music and podcasts.
It was a reprieve to finally get home and work out. I’m a huge fan of Netflix and chill on the couch, but lately I’ve been watching Netflix while working out. On weight lifting days, however, I’ve become a fan of listening to podcasts. On this particular day, I tuned into an episode of The Morning Toast. The witty and hilariously fast-paced show was just the distraction I needed. I die for pop-culture, so it took little to no effort to clear my mind as I heard their top five stories of the day. Needless to say, weight day passed by in a flurry.
