What is it about being tired that we resist so strongly? Much like a small child, we complain and resist and find ways to skirt this important message from our bodies. We treat being tired as a bad thing, a failure. We punish ourselves for not being able to do ALL OF THE THINGS. We ingest caffeine, sugar, and various curiously marketed energy drinks because being tired is not OK. We ignore the simple biological message that in most cases means we need more fuel or more rest. We stay up too late, knowing that we'll pay for it tomorrow, drink our coffees, then repeat the cycle again.
Screw that noise.
If you're tired, then listen.
If you're tired, understand why.
If you're tired, be kind to yourself.
If you're tired, accept that it is part of an active life.
If you're tired...
be tired.
It's OK.
It's OK to be tired.
