#22: The good kind of tired đ´
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 donât like tired. Tired is boring, sleepy, lackluster. Itâs nothing special. A sign that youâve used your energy and now have to rest. How menial.
But I like this type of tired. Itâs a sign that I worked hard and paid attention. That Iâm learning and growing and stretching a little. Itâs uncomfortable, but being this type of tired is a sign of growth.
To-do list:
đ Dust something
đ Try one new recipe this week
đ Write a letter forgiving someone (or yourself)
đ˛ Start keeping a deck of cards in your purse

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

A parting thought:
Take some time to rest.
