I did ok with pacing myself through my day yesterday and I’m doing ok with it today but that instinct to just do all of the things before resting is strong.

My brain obviously knows that it is hard for me to start tasks and it wants me to keep going while I am already in focus mode.

It worries that I will forget.

It worries that I will dive into something fun and struggle to stop doing that and start something else.

And I appreciate that my brain is trying to protect me.

But since doing all of the things right away is not even possible, I wish it would trust me to rest and then return.

Perhaps that will come over time.
