You know the ones .... you wake up and even your eyeballs feel tired! Perplexed you wonder how this can be - you went to bed early, have slept deeply for 9 hours (2 hours more than usual) and yet your body feels like you have gone 3 rounds with Ali (showing my age!).
I had one of those mornings today. Despite a full night’s sleep I woke up feeling physically and emotionally exhausted. After spending 5 fruitless minutes wondering why, it dawned on me that it didn’t really matter why... I just was exhausted. So instead of analysing, fighting or masking it (double espresso and a chocolate muffin - not that I would ever indulge in either!), or ignoring it, I decided to just accept the fact and work with it. Today my body, mind and heart are tired and I am going to embrace and accept this and go a little easier on myself.
The next time you have one of those mornings or moments, try the sequence below. A gentle stretch and a few deep breaths really do go a long way. After just 10 minutes you should feel better able to cope with the challenges of the day ahead.
