Tiredness can kill....

...... a notice on the motorway.

But it's not just drivers that need to heed this warning. At this time of year 'End of Year Fatigue' is a thing. Tiredness causes irritations, arguments, mistakes, dropping and breaking crockery, falls and so many other mishaps because the brain, and therefore your body, is not firing on all cylinders.

Try to combat this by sitting down with a cup of tea or coffee. Stare out of window for 5 minutes. Breathe deeply. Give yourself permission to REST. Watch a film, read a book, forget the chores for an hour or two. Longer if you can. The power of resting is amazing: restoring your balanced mind and creating new energy. I can testify to this.

That said I know there is much to do at this time of year - ask yourself 'is this essential right now?' We also have the new Covid virus to contend with, which no doubt is adding again into our stresses. But we can be happy about the knowledge that THIS TOO WILL COME TO PASS. Be KIND to yourself.
