I respect my lack of energy and rest. I try to read or do other things that interest me but don't take a lot of energy. I do things that make me feel better or pamper myself. For myself, I have found that if I respect how I am feeling and take care of myself I will then get my energy back, at least for a few days. The more I fight how I'm feeling, the worse I feel and the longer I stay feeling bad, and without energy. But I'm the type of person who pushes myself too hard and expects too much of myself. I suppose if I were the kind of person to take it too easy, to be lazy, then pushing myself would make more sense. I used to think I was lazy but I finally realized that was just me being too hard on myself.
