So I was complaining (OK actually whining) today about not
having the energy or inspiration to write my blog this week. The person I was complaining (whining) to
said, what a great topic.
So, what
happens when you feel tired from the work week or are getting over a cold and
still trying to work (like me this week), but still need to get things
done? Well, you have two choices. If
it’s something that can wait, you go take a nap. But let’s face it, most small business owners
and the rest of us too, just don’t have that luxury.
So, you suck it up and get it done. That’s what most of us do. Is it wrong?
I don’t know, sometimes I think we neglect our bodies to the point that
our bodies revolt against us (like illness of some kind). So, let’s look at the
nap alternative.
I learned early on
after a diagnosis of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in my 20s that the BEST thing you
can do to live a healthy life is listen to your body. Sometimes, when we are tired, we just need to
go to bed. Staying up and fighting the
blog article, or the bills or whatever just doesn’t work, but so many people
refuse listen to their bodies. Instead,
they trudge on, get it done and live with feeling tired all the time.
Sometimes, just slowing down and regenerating ourselves makes
us better at our jobs. But there are
times, (like today as I sit writing this article) that you just gotta to do
what you gotta do. Is it wrong? I think I’m too tired to decide.
