My legs ached, my eyelids were heavy and I just didn’t have the energy to deal. I was exhausted.
As I went about my day on autopilot, the realization hit me. I have spent years, literal years, feeling this way. I didn’t know any better.
I accepted fatigue as normal.
Relief from short vacations were quickly forgotten. In my daily rut of lack of sleep and too much work, everything was a blur.
Now I do know better, and my healthy days outnumber my cruddy days. I established new healthy habits. So, when the familiar overwhelm comes along the contrast is obvious.
A healthy life takes work! I sometimes fall back into the old destructive habits. The great thing about now is I can course correct more efficiently.
