Exhaustion is Not a Badge of Honor
Move with curiosity.
In ways that feel good to your body. In ways that are directed by instinct. Move. Or don’t. Everything is allowed.
Eat compassionately.
Aim for regular intake of energy. Meals and snacks are helpful to promote structure throughout the day. And to keep you feeling well. Seek out comforting food, if that appeals. Everything is allowed.
Rest with consistency.
Prioritize napping. Prioritize getting rest throughout the day. Practice good sleep hygiene to the best of your ability. Turn off the bloody news. Pour yourself a cup of chamomile. Everything is allowed.
Seek connection, virtually.
And boy, I can’t tell you what I would give to share a meal, or a hug, with anyone, right now. Virtual connection is not the same. It doesn’t do the same energetic refill that real life connection does. And if you are able, I would still encourage you to find a way to do this moment in company. Everything is allowed.
We need you now and will on the other side of this long moment. .
