Awoke with a rare span of time to reflect while still in bed. Cataloged all the ways I feel exhausted. An exhausted list of exhausting. A tired list of fatiguers.
After some deep breathing, I invited Spirit to offer some ways to cope: and it did. Here are some:
1. Welcome all Helpers and Assistants.
2. Set when to stop on a task: a. get to a base. b. covered a distance. c. time runs out.
3. Hide the Rest. (like the pun on this one). Pad my planning with a fatter buffer. Say I have a meeting @ 7 pm and travel time is about an hour. Leave 2 hours before and 'rest while in motion' for an hour. Find a coffee shop to read an article. Get off the bus a stop or 2 before or after the one I need and walk about. Take an unusual path to get to where I'm going. Sit on a park bench and breathe.
