Does Your Brain Need A Rest?

Do you ever get that feeling that your brain just isn't working anymore? Maybe if you stop and pay attention you realise that your body isn't as charged up as it might be. Then you go deeper and notice that your spirits are depleted.

Hey you. Happy Sunday 👋

Do you ever get that feeling that your brain just isn't working anymore? Maybe if you stop and pay attention you realise that your body isn't as charged up as it might be. Then you go deeper and notice that your spirits are depleted.

If that happens, well done. You noticed. You paid attention to the signals nature has provided you. Signals that you need a rest.

Or maybe just a signal that today isn't the day to do the thing you thought you were supposed to do. Like, for instance, write a coaching blog.

If that's the case, just don't do the thing. Have a break. Recharge whatever needs recharging; be that your mind, your body, your spirit or all three. It's a natural part of every cycle. A crucial part of every day.

After all, you're an adult. You can do (or not do) whatever you like.

Have a beautiful week.

PS You're such a discerning reader you will have noticed that I have written a blog about not feeling like writing a blog. Which could be brilliantly meta, or a denial of the very message the blog seems to be about.

And so I'd like to say it is neither. Today's blog is written from a place of contentment. From a feeling of centeredness. I have written exactly what I felt like writing and no more.

Perhaps the muse has escaped me a little due to a bout of Covid in the last few days?

Or maybe the muse wanted me to express exactly this.

Only you will know.
