Heya Reader,

Normalize doing things when you’re tired.

Look, you’re an adult, so you most likely have a million things you are juggling and a to-do list a mile long. I know we are all about trying to reduce stress and create more calm in our lives, but the reality is, being an adult is EXHAUSTING.

Sure, some people have a chill job, safety, and financial security - but honestly, I don’t know a single person these days who isn’t struggling. In some fashion, we are all dealing with something, some baggage that weighs on us day in and day out.

I’m not saying it should be this way, just that it is. Life is hard.

But here’s the twist.

I had a friend message me inviting me to go for a walkabout this evening.

I said sure, I need to get outside and move my body, I asked what time.

She said any time after 6 pm.
​

6 pm!

I audibly groaned.

My head filled with resistance - I eat dinner at 6, when would I eat, I would have to eat beforehand, but what if she wanted to eat dinner together, what about traffic, and parking, and the sun will be going down so that might mean driving in the dark, will it be cold, what about my morning plans to go walk with another friend, will this drain me, do I have the capacity to meet a friend so late?!

But the thing is, I AM capable of going out after 6; I do enjoy myself when I’m out. It doesn’t mess up my entire routine.

I am capable of going out and living life, even if I am tired.

Where are you encountering resistance around the things you want to do? How much of it is just thoughts in your head and lies your brain is telling you to keep you “comfortable”?

Cheers,

Morgan
