Just a day
I don't know about you but I am exhausted. I had to be to work this morning at 6. It happens from time to time. Unfortunately, I forgot about that fact until about 10:30 last night. I was so pre-occupied about not getting enough sleep and not getting up in time this morning, that I tossed and turned all night long. Hence, I felt a little out of it all day long.
My mind has not been as focused. I seem to be walking in a haze. It is still slow at work, so I had lots of down time. I probably should have been creating something, but I could not think. I finally gave up and started taking calls. It was something I felt I could do in my sleep. I hope I did a good job.
At 2:30, I gathered my stuff, drove home, grabbed a quick bite to eat and did my best to stay awake. I was dead. I could not study, I could not read, I did not even enjoy playing games on the computer or watching TV. After many attempts, I gave in and let my eyes close. I just slept.
Isn't it great how our body tells us what it needs. Isn't it ever better when we recognize those signs. It did not matter how loud the TV was, the person next to me talking on the phone, or the kids playing the piano. My body sent me the message and I followed. It was not long, it was not completely comfortable, but it felt good. I then had the energy and focus to move on with my night.
We had pack meeting. I don't think I would have been as patient or understanding while attending this meeting if I had not listened to my body.
Listening is important, but following through is even more important. I encourage you to do the same.
