I'm feeling very robust, for the most part. My life and work the past 8 years stressed, tested, confused, and baffled me. Having devoted most of my restorative time to learning about dreams, sleep, natural remedies, and such, I found that deep understanding really helpful and why I was able to endure this marathon.
For example, several areas of my body signal my driver/striver side with an ache, itch, cough, or pain at a mild level when my body had been driven to the brink of illness. I've learned to respond, usually by looking at my calendar and negotiating the minimum time I would need to wrap up enough commitments. I would draw a big circle on my calendar (my symbol for "protect this time"), and sincerely ask if I had the strength to hold on till then. If I didn't, I repeated the process with an earlier time.
