I’ve been noticing something lately, it isn’t always the amount of work that wears me down, it’s where my attention lives throughout the day.
My mind jumps from one responsibility to the next, holding everyone else in mind while my body quietly waits, tight in the background.
When my awareness stays there, I feel it.
My shoulders creep up, my breath gets shallow, and even when I finally stop moving, my mind doesn’t. Rest doesn’t land because I’m still everywhere else.
What’s helped me most has been learning to gently bring my awareness back into my body and into the moment I’m actually in.
Feeling my feet on the floor, noticing my breath as it really is, allowing my attention to settle where my life is happening instead of where it’s being pulled.
Even a small shift makes a difference.
If you’ve been feeling tired in a way that rest alone doesn’t seem to touch, it might be worth noticing where your awareness spends most of its time.
Sometimes peace of body and mind can begin there.
