I’m So Tired My Mind Can’t Focus More – Connection Creator

What Does Tired Mean?

OK, sleep deprived and tired. I admit it. I have not taken care of myself. You’ve probably been there before. Life takes some unexpected turns and you get out of your natural rhythm. Perhaps you did it during finals in school. Maybe you have been binge watching some meaningless show. Is your baby keeping you up all night?

Regardless of the cause, lack of sleep can lead to poor results in life if you are not working at being aware of your thoughts and actions. It is a lot harder to focus on something when you are tired. Simple tasks become major chores.

Actions Speak Loudly

Sometimes when you are tired, your actions start speaking loudly. Your ability to filter actions turns life into a nightmare when you start doing things you normally would never do. The words you use become louder. The way you speak turns harsh or nasty.

This week, I have not been on my best behavior. I have asked for forgiveness more than usual as I am reassessing my actions and words. Good people make mistakes. It’s not that I have made really bad mistakes, but it is not who I want to be.

Ancestors Were Human Too

I know that some of my ancestors made some really bad choices. How many were related to not thinking clearly from lack of sleep, I don’t know. I’m sure there were many. If I can recognize that I am not perfect, shouldn’t I have some compassion for others?

Maybe someone worked them up through good oration, that with a muddled mind, resulted in following a despot. Maybe they didn’t listen to a sound argument.

Choices are hard to judge when we have no context for the situation. It also leads us to cast blame so we feel justified in our own bad choices. Take care in how you use judgement as it may be causing more harm than you realize. Perhaps learning to see your ancestors as human is what you need to help you get past some of the hang ups you have today.

Join me next week for the first of six classes on connecting with your ancestors. It will be on Facebook in the Ancestral Connection with Mark Fincher group and is free of charge. The trainings are recorded in case you can’t join us live. It starts Wednesday April 18th at 7:00 pm MDT. I look forward to seeing you there.
