- Sleep
.
Constant busyness can tire you
- Somewhere in the late 20th century we got the idea that busyness is a virtue. We decided that the more activities we can squeeze into our lives, the happier we’ll be. What ultimately results, though, is physical and spiritual exhaustion. We jump from one appointment to another, our body and mind racing. We schedule events back to back and overlapping, with no time to rest or reflect. And when we’re in one activity, we’re either distracted with the thing we’ve just done or the thing that’s coming up. It’s not a good way to live. Jack Zavada

Save your energy for the ways that it can be useful, and stop wasting it on resisting the inevitable. Amanda Harvey
- Going with the flow
.
Not making time for rest and renewal can tire you
- Suppose you were to come upon someone in the woods working feverishly to saw down a tree. “What are you doing?” you ask. “Can’t you see?” comes the impatient reply. “I’m sawing down this tree.” “You look exhausted!” you exclaim. “How long have you been at it?” “Over five hours,” he returns, “and I’m beat! This is hard work.” ‘Well, why don’t you take a break for a few minutes and sharpen that saw?” you inquire. “I’m sure it would go a lot faster.” “I don’t have time to sharpen the saw,” the man says emphatically. “I’m too busy sawing!” Stephen Covey
- Rest and renewal
.
Trying to change and control people can tire you

- Judgement, Blaming, Comparison
.
Needing to be right can tire you
- Being right, defending our positions, takes an enormous amount of mental energy and often alienates us from the people in our lives. Needing to be right – or needind someone else to be wrong – encourages others to become defensive, and puts pressure on us to keep defending. Richard Carlson
- Let go of the need to be right
.

Depression can tire you
- Depression can feel endless when the lethargy takes over and everything seems too hard. For this very reason, it’s important to view getting well as a journey of gradual steps, rather than something with an instant cure. Jack Herrick
- Recovering from depression requires action, but taking action when you’re depressed is hard. In fact, just thinking about the things you should do to feel better, like going for a walk or spending time with friends, can be exhausting. It’s the Catch-22 of depression recovery: The things that help the most are the things that are the most difficult to do. There’s a difference, however, between something that’s difficult and something that’s impossible. Robert and Jeanne Segal
- The hallmark of depression is a persistent sad or “empty” mood, sometimes experienced as tension or anxiety. Life lacks pleasure. There is often a nagging fatigue, a sense of being unable to focus, a feeling of being unproductive. There is usually difficulty concentrating, remembering, and making decisions. Guilt and excessive self blame may take the form of negative, accusatory thinking. The negative mood distorts reality to create a negative world. Richard O’Connor
- Fatigue is the safest sleeping draught. Virginia Woolf
- Depression
.
Greed can tire you
- Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction. Erich Fromm

- Rest and renewal
.
Refresh yourself by taking regular breaks when you work
- There is a rhythm in our bodies that operates in 90-minute intervals. That rhythm is the ultradian rhythm, which moves between high arousal and fatigue. If you’re working over a period of 90 minutes, there are all kinds of indicators in your physiology of fatigue; so what your body is really saying to you is, ‘Give me a break! Refuel me!’ Tony Schwartz
- Research shows that naps improve productivity—a growing body of evidence shows that taking regular breaks from mental tasks improves productivity and creativity — and that skipping breaks can lead to stress and exhaustion. David Rock

Refresh yourself by doing what you love, not what drains you

- Everything that gets on our calendar needs to be assessed for its nutritional value. The guiding question becomes “Does this sustain me or exhaust me?” Danielle LaPorte

Refresh yourself by relaxing
- What is the answer to this fatigue? Relax! Relax! Relax! Learn to relax while you are doing your work! Dale Carnegie

Refresh yourself through the beauty of nature
- If we analyze the operations of scenes of beauty upon the mind, and consider the intimate relation of the mind upon the nervous system and the whole physical economy, the action and reaction which constantly occur between bodily and mental conditions, the reinvigoration which results from such scenes is readily comprehended. . . . The enjoyment of scenery employs the mind without fatigue and yet exercises it; tranquilizes it and yet enlivens it; and thus, through the influence of the mind over the body gives the effect of refreshing rest and reinvigoration to the whole system.

- Your tiredness has dignity to it! Do not rush to pathologise it, or push it away, for it may contain great intelligence, even medicine.
You have been on a long journey from the stars, friend. Bow before your tiredness now; do not fight it any longer.
There is no shame in admitting that you cannot go on. Even the courageous need to rest.
For a great journey lies ahead. And you will need all of your resources.
Come, sit by the fire of Presence. Let the body unwind; drop into the silence here. Forget about tomorrow, let go of the journey to come, and sink into this evening’s warmth.
Every great adventure is fuelled by rest at its heart.
