This morning, I did not want to get out of bed. The pull of stillness was strong, the thought of movement unappealing. I didn’t want to go to tennis. The excuse was ready on my lips—fatigue, workload, the ever-present whisper of just skip it this once. And I...
The Shift from “I Should” to “I Get To”
