There are times when we are all go. Everything is moving at full speed at the same time. Everyone wants something from you. There are just times when it just feel like there aren't enough hours in the day to get everything done. Things get juggled around in priority. Somethings move up and other things just have to get left behind. Somethings just get plain forgotten about.
For me the things that always ends up at the bottom of the list is me. It is easier to do everything else, make everyone else happy than it is to look after yourself. It is hard to get 8 hours of sleep a night when there are assignments to be done, letters to be written and friends to support. It is easier to skip a meal and spend more time studying than it is to pack lunch from home or to even stop what you are doing. Life doesn't stop when you are having a bad day. In fact does the world even stop at all?
The world doesn't stop turning. It is one of the few constants that this earth has to offer. If you are having a bad day, it will soon be a new one. The present day can't last forever. I must tell myself that on a regular basis.
Neglecting yourself on a regular basis does take its toll. There are times when you just need to stop. Stop what you are doing completely. The world will keep turning without you. It is time to rewind a bit. refresh yourself and get ready for the next battle. Recovery is important because without we can't keep carrying on.
We would become stale and weak. How can we be there for others when they need us when we can't even look after ourselves. Maybe this is something that should a more regular thing. Taking a break to recover shouldn't be frowned upon. It should be encouraged. After all we are all human.
On that note, I should probably look after myself and avoid another late night.
