I’ve been so busy with the new full-time role and adjusting to the overnight schedule that I haven’t had much time for anything outside of work, running, and strength training.
Now I’m sitting here on my one day off completely exhausted. That is not normal for me, but I know exactly why.
I used to get frustrated when I felt like this and needed rest. What 2025 taught me is that discipline is not just pushing through. Sometimes the disciplined move is backing off before your body makes the decision for you. Rest is not weakness when it keeps you sharp enough to keep showing up.
