(no subject)

Right now, I'm feeling the most energetic I've felt all day. I still wouldn't say I feel energetic though. Earlier, my brain felt numb. I was trying to complete some tasks and just could not get my brain to focus. Eventually, I did get a few things done. But I'm feeling so refreshed now that I'm almost tempted to go back to those tasks so I can try to accomplish more, but I don't want to stress myself out and reduce my sleep quality.

I really hope this feeling transfers into tomorrow. I have a lot to do, and I have a lot I'd like to do. After work, I'd like to either hike, do yoga, or go to the sauna. Or maybe a combination. Even though I feel like I could benefit from the sauna, I'm not sure I want to go because of the traffic that will be in the area due to holiday shoppers. Hopefully my brain will be clear enough tomorrow to direct me toward something.

Brains are interesting. Why – during the day – would my energy be so lackluster, even after having a healthy smoothie? And why would I suddenly get this burst at the end of the day? The burst did follow my consumption of my favorite pizza, so maybe that has something to do with it. Maybe pizza is the answer to all of life's problems.

In any case, I'm so looking forward to some time off over the holidays, beginning tomorrow. Time for:
hiking
yoga
sauna
reading
computer organization
blogging
cooking
home cleaning and organization
self-care

Related to my post earlier this evening. I wrote this a little less than a week ago when I was away from my computer. The feelings still resonate.

If you’re too tired to pay attention to something worthwhile, does that mean you’re too tired to do something mindless? Mindless activities have their purpose, but maybe if my brain isn’t present enough to read a book, then really I shouldn’t be doing anything other than trying to sleep. What other healthy habits can I develop to practice during these brain fried times?

Also I saw this quote three times on Wednesday. Two on Facebook, one in a journal profile. Is it a sign?
