Feelings of fatigue can come between you and your goals today, preventing you from working through the agenda you created for yourself. As the day wears on, you may begin to compare your current progress with that of days past. Consider, however, that you were likely pushing yourself quite hard and it may be that you are paying the price for your exertions today. To regain your ability to work quickly, carefully, and devotedly, you will likely need to recover from whatever sapped your energy so entirely. This can be a wonderful time to engage in only those restful activities that soothe and comfort you.

Sleep is not a luxury but a vital element of any healthy life, which means that we do much to ensure our continuing well-being when we choose to devote an adequate amount of time to slumber. It is while we are in a state of deep repose that our physical selves can repair the damage that goes hand in hand with living in a modern, industrialized world. Similarly, the dreams we have at night provide our subconscious minds with a means to sort through the day's stimulus, however confusing or emotionally intense. We are at our best when we are well-rested because we have the energy to focus on the tasks or ideas before us and need not overcome feelings of exhaustion to function. When you view your fatigue as a signal to sleep today, you will find that you are much more active and aware when you do decide to wake.
