When the job starts wearing you down, this is what it can look like.
You’re sill showing up, but everything feels heavier and harder than it used to.
When the job still gets done, but the motivation and energy are fading.
You’re sill showing up, but everything feels heavier and harder than it used to.
When you have a little more time and feel drained, this gives your system a chance to come down and actually recharge.
When you’re running on empty but still pushing through, this gives your system a quick reset without needing energy or effort.
When your mind is still scanning, replaying, or staying alert, this helps you set some of that down so it is not following you into the rest of your night.
If this has been building over time, this helps you step back, sort through what’s draining you, and figure out what needs to change.
Put it down for now.
Not ignoring it. Not minimizing it. Just setting it somewhere on purpose so it does not follow you into everything else.
