Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

Hello my friend.

I want to speak to you today about the joy of being tired.

Now this is not to celebrate exhaustion or to promote overwork or to tell you not to take a break or a rest when you need one.

No, no, no, no, I want to be clear about that up front. But what do I mean about the joy of being tired? Right now,

my husband and I have had a very, very, very much a whirlwind few weeks.

A lot of travel, a lot of business stuff, a lot of moving parts, way busier in a concentrated period than usual. And we're both

saying at the moment at the end of the day, I'm tired, I'm knackered, I'm knackered I am working hard this is like this is taking a toll on me I can feel it in my body I can feel the

exhaustion at the end of the day.

And when we were saying this the other night, I looked at him and I just like touched his shoulder,

put my head on it, and I said said this is something to celebrate because we're giving it everything.

We are giving life right now a hundred percent.

We're not holding back, we're showing up, we're fully engaged, we're having a lot of fun.

Our energy is just at its all-time high, go, go, go, go, go, throughout the day.

And so the exhaustion isn't you know a hangover tired the

exhaustion isn't boredom which can happen you can be tired from hating your job

or feeling as if there's nothing interesting going on.

And the tiredness isn't from arguing or using energy in silly unnecessary ways.

When you're focused, when you care, when you're applying yourself to things that matter,

that feeling of being tired almost brings with it its own sense of satisfaction. I remember speaking

to my mum about this when I was growing up because of course I was going to school

and I had two or three jobs often at a time.
