How To Do More When You Are Tired

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

We are human beings. If you are not taking care of yourself, that is not good for you. It is not good for your health. It is also not good for your work. Because you are not going to be able to continue without rest.

When you are tired, take a break. Accept where you are, what you are doing, and how you are feeling about it. But do not try to force yourself through it. It is going to get worse. Do not do that.

When you are tired, be real with yourself. Do not try to do too much. Do what is important, not what is urgent. If you have people who can help you, then reach out to them. Do not try to do everything.

When you are tired, do not do too much at a time. They call it ‘multitasking.’ If you try to do too much, you are not going to do well.

When you are tired, do not hide it from those around you. Tell people who are with you. Do not pretend that you are okay. If you do that, you are not helping your situation. It is better to share what you are going through with others than to carry it alone.

No matter where you are, you should always put yourself first. Take time out to be with yourself. Remember, nobody is bigger than life. If you are not able to do your work, life will continue. So take care of yourself.

According to Bob Goff, ‘Find a way to create a sanctuary in your daily life, because these safe places are within reach if we’ll stop long enough to see them.’

The question is, ‘Where is your favorite place to find rest?’

How To Make Things Work For You, Not Against You

Talking about what you want, what you are going to do, it is not enough. It is not going to take you to where you want to go. Talk is cheap. But it doesn’t have what you are looking for. It can’t give you growth. It can’t help you get better. It can’t lift you up.

If you just talk, then you are going to remain where you are. But if you take action, you are a moving boat. You are a ‘sailboat.’ You are not ‘a stationary sailboat.’ You are moving closer to your dream. You are challenging yourself. You know what you want. And you are working to make it happen.

You know that no one is going to make it work for you. You are not waiting for people to give you permission. You are already on your way to where you want to be. You do not have time to waste anymore. You are already making a difference with people who are changing the world, who are changing their lives.

If you want growth to come to you, you must do what growth wants. Because growth is not going to happen if you don’t want to work. If you want to work, growth will come to you. But if you do not want to work for what you want, you are just wasting your time.

Don’t do that to yourself. You have what it takes to change your life, to change your world. But if you don’t put yourself to work, nothing is going to work for you. Remember that ‘faith that isn’t experiencing by doing what it has learned is a boat tied to the dock.’

You are not ‘tied to the dock!’
