Health Tips - Tired or Ill

 
Tired or Ill

Elaine Pepi was my loving mother and an entertaining teacher. One of her best pieces of advice to me while I was growing up may help you too.

As a child, whenever I was tired and unhappy at the end of my day, she would encourage me to get rest and say, “You’ll feel better in the morning.” In other words, get well-rested and tomorrow everything will look better to you!

It has never failed to be true. When your body is exhausted, the analytical part of your mind stops working well. You can tend to have emotions that are not constructive or creative.

Just do what you know is the right thing to do at the time, such as take your supplements and go to sleep or rest. Don’t worry about any bad mood or stray thoughts. They aren’t the real you! When your body is well-rested and not ill, you can think very differently and create solutions to your life.

Take care of your body and it will be far more useful to you in handling the challenges of life!
