"Can people succeed despite internal chaos? Yes, but it gets expensive over time. Eventually, the debt collector shows up. Don’t limit your potential to feel and perform at your best. Air out your laundry."
Wow, I wish I would have read this before the election a few weeks ago. I was physically in a depleted, heavily run-trained state, on a knifes edge physiologically speaking. Getting ready for a race, five days away..... the election caused a serious emotional crash, for three days, which cascaded to a reaction physically.... needless to say I came away with a hamstring injury, one that I had never experienced ever while running. Couldn't finish the race, I paid the price of all that emotional angst.
Marty - Thanks for the comment. Sorry you got injured but glad you have perspective so next time you can get ahead of the curve. Even if you can't alleviate the angst, you might be able to mitigate it!
