When tired waves crash

I remember those nights after 2 am.

Outside on the fields only the stars simmered a little.

Everything else was being wrapped with a dark velvet blanket of the night.

Our home was pitch dark. 

Only my computer was shining little light to the surroundings.

I thought I was being efficient as my thoughts were more clear while everyone else was asleep.

But the next day I could feel the cost.

The feeling of drain after not sleeping properly made me feel like a zombie.

It's amazing how sleep affects us.

Or not having a proper good night's sleep.

You gradually realize it when you don't have it.

Your mind gets easily full of negative thoughts like clouds that dim your mind.

And it's harder to choose good thoughts.

Like there was no sun behind those clouds.

For the past few last night's I have spent  less time sleeping, with major reasons for kids being sick.

And the week being too full of special things, my mind not being able to shut off.

And now I am in this with you, I feel the drain.

As I did my morning routine, mindwork, I really realized how much harder it is to choose the good thoughts when tired.

So, let's do this one thing.

Let's prioritize sleep once again.

Trying that nine o'clock bedtime.

Putting away our phone a few hours before bed.

And let's see how normal and how great we actually feel again.

Hugs,
