Good call, Sandra! “I’m tired. I should shower so it’ll wake me up; if I shower, I should exercise first so I don’t have to shower twice . . .
I recognize that non-productive loop. I have a few local versions of it. The answer is usually just to get up and DO something, anything, and ignore the voice and forget about the shower for the moment.

Whittling down chores here, but there are a lot to choose from. Paid a couple of bills (decluttering the pocketbook) and emptied a couple of things out of the fridge (for marinara sauce). What I really need to do is get to bed early tonight, forget the rest of the chores, nothing is urgent.
