I’m Worn Out
Hello Friends!
I haven’t yet written a post like this before but I think it is important to document. Especially when across social media, it comes across as people are always on the GO GO GO. I’m always smashing those gym sessions and travelling for work. But, when you don’t take the time to concentrate on how you are exactly feeling – you get worn out.
What’s been going on?
The past couple of weeks I have been feeling a bit off and more tired than usual. Not really physically tired – more mentally. I am the type to throw myself into gym routines, try to get involved as much as possible at work and to feel slightly bad when I’m resting.
Around this time last year, I was diagnosed (which sounds like a very scary word) with
Obviously, I wasn’t doing this. I didn’t feel physically tired. The fact that I was mentally tired wasn’t really being communicated to my brain and body properly. (apologies for the lack of science x) So, as you can expect, I kept pushing myself HARDER. I wanted to keep SMASHING Cut Reload and seeing

I felt crap and I was performing crap – everything was a

I hope that none of you
I have been doing this for a

Awh sorry to hear you’ve had a crappy time but it’s so important that you’ve recognised this and are going to make a change! I know my limits and don’t push myself because I know I’ll end up feeling worse. It’s good too that you have a list so you know what to implement into your routine. You’ve got this!!

Thank you Chloe ❤️ I’m already feeling so much more rested and hopefully can keep that feeling going when I start increasing what I do more again 🙂

Sorry to hear you’ve been feeling tired Millie, I hope September is a really wonderful and refreshing month and you feel better after slowing down 🙂 It’s so important to prioritise yourself and sleep is so important – absolutely agree that well-being and health should come first! You’ve got this girl! x

Aw no Millie! It’s good that you’re recognising the need to slow down though and get plenty of rest. Doing what your mind needs is just as important as looking after your body. Look after yourself and you’ll be ready to keep smashing those goals! X
