Good Morning,
Welcome new recipients!
As I type this message, I am sitting in front of two laptops, eating breakfast with my daughter, feeding the whiney cat, and keeping the aggressive cat in the basement, and participating on a conference call with my team and company. Karen just called for her daily status call, and it is not even 8:00 AM and I have my daily chores and a full day of work ahead of me.
My days are not always as busy in the first part of the day, but it often feels that way. All of this activity eventually results in noise. Your attention can only go so far, you can only listen to so many different conversations at the same time and truly take in what is being said by any of them.
After enough of this noise in our day, our minds get tired out, and soon, downright exhausted. Have you ever noticed that a you are more tired when you have many mental tasks and challenges thrown at you simultaneously even if there was little to no physically strenuous activity?
And worse yet, when you have many days of the same, your mind and body become like the living dead and the only light at the end of the tunnel is your weekend. Then, if you have a full weekend planned out, that light or relief has just turned into a train chugging right at you.
When we live our lives at this fast paced, there is only one destination….burn out.
To avoid this fate, find times to distress. I call them do nothing times. I play a game on the computer, watch an episode of a favorite show, read a book, or take a nap. This may happen more than others may like, but it is necessary to avoid burn out.
Fill your days with do nothing time to help de-stress your life.
Enjoy!
