The Seven Stages of Grief: Forgetting to Bring your IPod to the Gym

1. Shock and Denial 

“No… Maybe I just left in the pocket of my jacket…”

2. Pain and Guilt

“Maybe if I hadn’t been thinking about my stats final I would have remembered it! I can’t go back and get it now…”

3. Anger and Bargaining 

“I’m such a %&-@ing idiot”

4. Depression

“I can’t go through with this. I might as well go home, there’s no way I’m going to get a decent workout in.”

5. The Upward Turn

“Maybe I can pull through….”

6. Working Through 

“I CAN DO THIS!!”

8. Acceptance

“I totally killed that workout”
