Balance Is Bliss.

This a very interesting one. And to be honest, balancing my physical wellness and work life is something that hasn't been that easy.

Sometimes last week, I returned home from work, and I felt very very tired, so I took a shower and ate, then I took some pain relieving pills and d decide to sleep. I thought it was the regular, "sleep and you will be fine" stuff. I never knew this was a lot different.

I know I'm stressed out, like drained to the core, and to me, the pill I took and the nap should be enough. I have ad expecting to wake up feeling all refreshed and good, but then I woke up and was feeling weak and exhausted, I was even moody, but that's a little normal when I'm stressed, but feeling exhausted even after sleeping is a little weird.

That was when I found out that I've stressed myself out too much. Like, too much. And in my quest for doing all things and trying to balance work and personal life, I should ask well include rest in my balance, it should be part of it. I told someone when I woke up that I'm just looking like lookman or lucozade here, we laughed about it a little and she advised that it's obvious I need to take some time out to really really rest.

Even though I know my limit and how far I can go with things, still I love to push myself to you know, do more, assist, show up and all. But in the real sense, it's too much for me to. Because along the line of doing all of that, I've totally forgotten about myself. So far I'm not sick, and I don't have any cause to go to the hospital, then I'm doing fine and my body is definitely aligning with it all, I never knew I'm getting more drained with the passing of each day.

That exact kind of breakdown the prompts explained is one I've experienced. You feel present while feeling absent at the same time. So, balancing is definitely needed, and the balance don't just require that you rest and sleep, it also requires that you care for yourself, remember yourself and do things for yourself.

There are wonky few things that I do, and they are very simple things, meanwhile I'm still learning. I try as much as possible to eat well, to take a rest, to say no when needed, to joke, laugh and relate with people and that's how I've been going by it. At the end of the day, only a filled cup can pour into another, if I'm empty, I'm not beneficial to either myself or anyone.

So, I implore you all to not wait until your body asks for it. Pay attention to yourself and balance things.
