"I bow to rid myself of anger against others."

Ok. There is a downside of being too productive. I only got about 4 hours of sleep, and after the gym, I was a walking zombie. Which is fair. I had been operating with 4 hours of sleep every day this week. My body needed some downtime. However, I made a mistake of taking double espresso with a cup of decaf coffee in the late afternoon to get some work done at work. Normally, I would have one decaf coffee a day. I had a date scheduled after work too, so I thought it would not hurt to be in more energetic state.


Now it's 11:33pm and I cannot stop thinking about what I need to do. Weird thing is that it is still ambiguous, because I have many tasks I sought to complete, and all my energy is currently being spent on just feeling anxious. If I were to channel the energy into assessing the outstanding task, I would feel less stressed. I believe the ambiguity part makes the anxious part worse.


To combat this, I am attempting to 1) shut my mind off, 2) write down outstanding tasks to prioritize and tackle, and 3) not worry about the tasks that do not require my imminent attention. I am going to utilize this weekend to recharge properly.


I am grateful that I have my people that care about me, and I shall take care of myself to continue to bring them joy.
