Another gem from my therapist
I was just talking to my therapist. I was telling her that when I get tired I have a proclivity to review and think on this worst thing about my experience or myself. I asked is that common? She said yes when folks get tired they can catastrophize.
its a good rule of thumb to remind myself of when I start heading south... mentally. I've been trying to stay on and choose the bright side, but sometimes I just do get overrun by fatigue.

Hehe.
I always say listen to your body. If you’re tired youre tired and you should rest. If you’re tense and nervous and angry, channel it in a healthy way and walk or stretch or exercise. If you’re tense with boredom, find a project. Sounds pretty dumbed down, but I try to keep the focus on movement- and sometimes rest and stillness counts as movement of a certain kind….like meditation and practice in stillness. Is that too hippy dippy?
Thanks Nikki!! It’s truly a balance!
