# Tiredness
What is this a cue for? See [[energy is made]] (it really is).
Don't caffeine, drug, or numb it away unless you've tried to [[meditation|meditate]], [[move]], socialize, and [[Breathe]]. [[walking]] works particularly well.
BREATHE!!!
## A Good Narrative
- You are tired because you've been doing amazing things, [[progress can be wearying]] and that is okay
- You are tired because you need to rest for something lovely coming up
- You are tired because god wants you to slow down and pay attention and be grateful
## Options when tired...
- [[walking|walk]] (if you've eaten recently you likely need to do this)
- [[meditation|meditate]] - specifically [[tired mindfulness]]
- [[penny]]
- [[Breathe]]
- [[napping]]
- just pick one, that is all that is possible.
## What type of tiredness is it?
- [[be specific]]
- [[where does the body feel tiredness]]
- When are you feeling it?
- #Meta/TypesOf tired
- [[early morning]] tired
-
- [[post food lethargy]]
- [[post exertion lethargy]]
- [[night time]] sleepy
- [[overtired]]
- [[illness]]
- [[caffeine]] withdrawal
None of these are helped by [[scrolling]] or [[hesitation]] or [[emotional eating]]!
## What is good about
- Tiredness is an opportunity to train at higher gravity... have faith.
- Imagine you were tired while running long distance... this is a normal part of the process. It could be a good opportunity for [[speed play - fartlek]].
I've noticed an assumption with tiredness...
I can go slow and lethargic...
