Work - as a remedy for tiredness

09/12/2013

You meet people who can talk of nothing but how tired they are. They simply find everything tiring. They don’t realize that talking about it actually makes it happen and that one day they will end up completely exhausted. Yet those who complain of tiredness are very rarely the ones who do the most work. The tiredness simply comes from the fact that they chew over thoughts and feelings that wear them out. They are undeniably tired – there’s no question of it being an imaginary illness. No, it’s very real, so real it’s contagious, and when you meet those people, after spending a few minutes with them you feel tired yourself. One of the most effective methods for getting rid of this psychic tiredness is proper physical tiredness; that is what will rest them and heal them of it. Humans possess unsuspected resources, which they should learn to exploit through an effort of will. So many people are tired because they allow their life to stagnate.
