I'm Tired ...
This is a personal declaration - one that will remind me of where I am starting so that I can better know how to get where I want to be.
I'm Tired ...
- of being tired. - I need to protect my sleep. My body does not run well when I am not well rested. I want to have more than enough energy to enjoy adventures with my family and pursue side hustles that could change our lives.
- of eating when I feel down. - Food is good, and it should be enjoyed, but I should not allow it to control me. It is fuel for my body, not a substance feeds my emotions. I do not want to be a slave to food. I want to be the master.
- of returning to the same bad habits. Oh, how quickly I return to my old, stagnant, bad habits. Life is a series of changes. I need to be ready to let go of the "old that does not bring life so that I can embrace the new that invigorates and renews. This is a battle of the mind!
- of letting the "good ole' days" prevent me from living in the present and planning for the future. - The past was the starting point. It is filled with many memories - both good and bad. I made me the man I am today, but it does not exclusively define who I will be in the future. I want to anticipate better days to come, and I want to live in the moment.
- of being captive to devices. I feel blessed to live in a day and age where technology abounds. I feel blessed that we have conveniences and opportunities that no other generation was able to enjoy. But I want to make sure that I can detach from devices so that I can connect to people. I want to be present, genuine, and personal with all of my relationships.

I sympathize with all of these. One thing I've been practicing is being careful with the first moments after waking up. I found myself reaching for my phone before even waking up all the way (!!). It's because I use it as my alarm clock. But it was too tempting to go on social media or Youtube first thing, before even saying good morning to my family.
So I've been disciplining myself to begin my day in silent prayer, aligning my mind towards God before doing anything with tech. Then I greet my family in the morning. This is my attempt to allow the Spirit to operate in my life - YHVH is my God, YHVH is first. Seek first the Reign of God and His righteousness and all these things will be granted to you.

When I woke up this morning, I paused before checking my phone and asked that God be honored with my day and my use of devices.
I want to seek Him first and let His kingdom come!
Bless the Most High!
I'm feeling tired today, too. A temporary mood of depression. I'm usually very optimistic, but today is a dreary rainy day and my current mood matches it.
Good written reminders. Keep pressing on. Strategically improve your life each day by 1% (that's a saying I recently read in a book, not sure how you would measure 1%).
Thanks for your honesty. We may be traveling on different roads, but the paths are very much the same. I like your idea of making a 1% change each day.
yooo get your self a declaration - let your tiredness know its not in charge
That's the goal. I want to take charge and make change.
have a good rest when your body is tired, and have a good meditation when your soul is tired, have a good healthy food when you need good energy to support your activities. Have a good day my friend @sumatranate...nice to see you again
Thanks @el-nailul. I am trying to make changes so that I live a better life - phyiscally, emotionally, and spiritually.
We all should do our best to make change for better life, and you have done just great
