An Open Letter to Myself When I’m Tired

Halt — stop confusing fatigue with not being good enough

Dear Self,

I’m sending this to you from a loving place because you deserve care and compassion and consideration all the time — but especially when you’re worn out. And sometimes that happens without warning and it’s nobody’s fault, certainly not yours.

And yet your mind, or should I say your Psychic Overlord, gives you a hard time when you’re exhausted — expecting too much from you just when you have nothing to give.

Some of the thoughts that rise to the surface when you’re knackered are clues — not clues that you’re a bad person, but little warnings that you are too tired to think straight, much less care for yourself.

For instance, when you start thinking about people who’ve treated you badly in the past — you’re tired.

When you wonder why you aren’t happier — it’s the fatigue talking.

When you question whether life will ever be “good enough” — that’s entirely because, right now, you feel overwhelmed by the act of putting one foot in front of the other.

Remember HALT?

Never make any big decisions when you are Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired.

And by now you’ve been down this road: you can be tired and hungry and angry all at once because fatigue doesn’t play fair.

I’ve been noticing that you have a habit — I won’t say a bad habit, but let’s say a habit that’s doing you no good — of criticizing when you are tired. And the worse the fatigue is, the more your mind seems to find fault. You might feel a little critical of others, but your main target is the nearest one, the easiest one: you.

Feeling bad but can’t say why? Might as well cast blame. It’s a default program and I want you to consider…what would it be like to stop blaming yourself? How would it feel to let go of the guilt that rises up whenever you are exhausted?
