I am tired because I am exhausted.
Most people think that there is something wrong with them.
There is nothing wrong with you. You have every right to be tired in such times that we are going through.
This tiredness is here for a reason. We are going through profound changes and the tiredness comes from the inner work that we are currently doing.
It is also true that our tiredness comes from our high levels of stress. Which just plainly means that we are tired because we are not able to relax. Nevertheless, it is not a personal fault. It is not even a fault and it is collective.
Imagine when finally you go through it. There will be a change in your energy. We are all different (and all the same at the core) so I am not able to say what may have happened to you that you are personally clearing now, so what I can do is write down some of my own personal experiences: When I can finally relax, these are some of the things that happen with me; My body starts to shake as it is trying to let go of the spasms. My breath starts to relax and deepen. I am suddenly fine not to be ‘all-knowing’, my shame drops to a level that I hardly care. The way I look at people who are bullying or manipulating me and others changes completely: I used to either run away or fight with them. Today I just simply do not care, or usually care much less. They have no effect on me other than sometimes I feel sorry for people with such behavior. This is a complete change because I don’t want to ‘solve’ the sources of stress anymore. I am independent. And I enjoy relaxing.
But above all these personal perceptions, now I know that there is a profound change happening. Not just in me but in all of us. This is the most important knowledge that I recently got.
I invite you to fear not. And know that this transition that is something very positive after all.
