I get you are tired

the truth is so is everyone else

Hey you,

You know those days when you wake up and feel like you only just closed your eyes 10 minutes ago…

Yet somehow your alarm is already going off.

And you are thinking…

“How am I going to function today?”

The day ahead seems like a mountain you don’t even want to begin climbing.

Nor are you prepared for it.

Trust me i get it…

Here is the good news..?

You aren’t alone in this feeling.

No matter the amount of sleep I get 6 hours, 5 hours, heck even if it is 8

The truth is I am always “tired”

3 Creative Questions:

    Sometimes exhaustion gives us the freedom to think outside the box because we’re too tired to overthink. Example: Sketch, journal, or daydream—allow your mind to wander freely.

  2. What small, simple tasks can you do that still move you forward, even when you’re not at full strength?
    Focus on bite-sized actions that still make a difference.
    Example: Sending a quick email, organizing your workspace, or reviewing your goals.

  3. How can rest and relaxation be part of your creative process?
    Some of the best ideas come when you take a break and give yourself room to breathe.
    Example: Take a walk or meditate—let your subconscious work on a problem while you recharge.
