Do you get emotional fatigue...

When thinking of all the things you need to overcome, do, achieve or change about yourself?

It makes me feel so depleted. The anxiety I have on various parts of life makes me feel limited and small. And Ive been working at certain fears to heal, so my life can feel more joy, feel Ive achieved anything, but its still not there...My life's going by, and it makes me sad.

"I get up, I get down, I get up, I get down..." Close to the Edge, Yes.
The song is a search for meaning and balance in life. I just find those words echo human experience so perfectly (ok not as potent without the music) and I find accepting this rhythm helps me to be kind to myself.
Be kind to yourself.
I learnt to live in my zone, that place where I am balanced like I'm sitting by the river and my perspective is most complete. I feel I don't stay there, I get up, I get down... but when I'm flat I don't make big decisions. I don't send messages or react to people. I don't judge my life when I'm down. I just recognise I'm tired, worn thin and my perspective is distorted through my flattened emotions. I recognise it and know what I need is to get through this. Then when I'm centred I choose, I act. This is the place from which I live.
