I always struggle with permitting myself real downtime. This
mindset has forced a universal adjustment into my life. As I have written about
previously, I’ve been coping through an illness, which stole my energy from me.
I have woke up feeling tired before but in the past several months I had been
crawling out of bed more tired than when I climbed into bed. Even though I had
allotted the full 8-hours of sleep, it continuously felt like I was pulling
all-nighters.
My diagnosis was mono. My doctor felt, because of my blood
work, it was a “reactivation” in my system. I protested that I’d never had mono
although she said that even though I was never diagnosed, most of us catch it
at a younger age and it lives within our system much like chicken poxes.
I have never experienced this type of energy drain before. I
kept pushing myself to meet my commitments but I did have to downsize my
schedule. Sometimes we do not have a choice and this happens especially when
warnings are ignored.
Deepak is correct, play and rest are not luxuries; they are
necessary as healthy channels for renewal.
How do you achieve balance in work, play and rest? I would
love to hear about it.
