Like many at my 5:45 a.m. exercise class, I find myself struggling with our recent switch to Daylight Savings Time. The challenge of a good workout should not be to keep your eyes open. It's funny in that I know the switch is coming every year, try to prepare for it, and yet walk around like a zombie for the first few days of the change.
Perhaps the problem is one of anticipation. I'm reminded of when a doctor tells you that a shot is going to hurt. While it does hurt, the anticipation and escalating anxiety of the pain is usually worse than the actual shot. Some clever nurses would take a different approach. They would start a conversation with you and poke you with the shot without warning. Sure, this was sneaky but it kept your mind from worrying too much about what was to come.
Daylight Savings Time is like many problems we face. It's temporary, not that big of a deal, and a challenge that is best overcome by not focusing on it too much.
