So all you needed was exercise... who would've thought?
Ok so, all this week I've been having this very weird mood. I was not in the mood to do anything, I was tired all the time, kinda sad or depressed or just annoyed, I couldn't exactly pinpoint what was wrong with me, save that something was odd. I thought nothing of it, figuring it was the recent heat wave. I went to piano on Monday and had half hour more of class, the pieces are coming along little by little, my teacher is stressed because our first recital is on April 28th and she realised there's not much time to practice anymore. This concert will have a cost and all earnings will go to the school (my guess: to give maintenance to the pianos). And... I had this lingering headache all day.
Tuesday I usually have aikido, and I hadn't gone in over two weeks for lack of time, and then because I had family stuff and shit. So, I was planning on going but alas, my headache wasn't going away so I stayed home.
Then Wednesday I had my dubbing class, all normal and then open piano class (headache was finally going away by now). It took an hour, because all students pass and play one piece and the teachers make comments on their progress, so they usually take an hour. And then I got invited to a movie. Really bad one, horrible movie... but well, it happens sometimes.
And yesterday I said to myself "enough is enough. Today you have to get to aikido". I really need the exercise and I missed it so much (it's just that, since it's at night, I get all lazy). So, I went to class, with all the laziness in the world, and once I saw the familiar faces my mood lifted so much. We started the class, I was really out of shape from all those weeks doing nothing but I managed to get through the whole class, practicing some new techniques, remembering how to fall and all.
By the time the class was done, I could see and amazing transformation in me. I was happy, literally just happy. I had energy again, my mood was so much better than an hour ago, I felt so relaxed, so relieved... so calm. And yes, I got myself some bruises and I almost twisted my foot when I fell on the wrong side. But I remembered why is it that I keep going.
It actually does good to me!
I end up dead tired every time, but now that I left it for a while and came back, I saw the "healing powers" (if you can call them that) of aikido.
Makes me happy. Gives me peace.
I never thought exercise could make you feel like that (I used to be a sedentary type of girl back in school). And now, I think I have a whole new vision of it. And of course, I won't skip class anymore, not after seeing my drastic change of mood.
:D
That's it, I got work today so I should get back to it.
