#22: The good kind of tired 😴
This week, we're kind of exhausted. Also, a podcast recommendation if you love silly Amazon reviews and some unexpected beach reads.
I started a new job this week and my brain is tired. So tired that I get in the car at the end of the day and drive home in silence because my brain needs a little break.
And I kind of love it.
Tired is usually a bad thing. We don’t like tired. Tired is boring, sleepy, lackluster. It’s nothing special. A sign that you’ve used your energy and now have to rest. How menial.
But I like this type of tired. It’s a sign that I worked hard and paid attention. That I’m learning and growing and stretching a little. It’s uncomfortable, but being this type of tired is a sign of growth.
To-do list:
🛁 Dust something
🍜 Try one new recipe this week
💌 Write a letter forgiving someone (or yourself)
🎲 Start keeping a deck of cards in your purse

If you also get a touch of joy when reading a crotchety review on Amazon, you’ll love this playlist. Two friends read off the internet’s most ridiculous product reviews. It’s a great easy listening podcast to have on in the background.

A parting thought:
Take some time to rest.
