Tired

If you had to give up one word that you use regularly, what would it be?

Tired

The one word I would remove from my regular spoken vocabulary is tired as I very often use it as an excuse to shut down whatever I’m feeling or to stop me having to make an effort.

We ,nowadays, are rarely tired.Being genuinely tired and being able to rest is a lovely feeling.

More often than not we use being tired as an excuse to avoid effort,sometimes the effort to keep a relationship alive or to complete a task we see as being repetitive and boring.

The joke is very much on me,because when I do whatever I’m supposed to do and think through the problem or challenge,I always feel good.

I will say to myself I’m too tired to do this,but inevitably I’m not,inevitably it’s just worth getting on and doing something,

I even did it while writing just now,while trying to think about what I really wanted to say.I closed my eyes and said to myself.

       “It’s late,I’m tired”

When I closed my eyes,my brain wouldn’t let me sleep,so I continued.

Was it for the best.Yes,I think so.

Namaste.
