Why became moody, when you can shake your booty!

Let's be honest. Everyone has their own struggles, their life, their everyday routine. It doesn’t matter if you're chronically ill, alone, together, or just an insurance agent named Hermann (sorry to all Hermanns). Throughout my day, my energy level fluctuates from "I want to hug the whole world" to "when being tired hurts" multiple times. Sometimes, I don’t even want to hug anyone. But when that energy level kicks in –

go ahead: shake your butt.

What I’m trying to say is that I often feel like I’m experiencing so much in such a short time. It can also quickly become overwhelming. A full-time job that I enjoy, a second full-time job dealing with the healthcare system, and on top of that, trying to enjoy life and get healthy. And sleep. When I’m tired again. Enjoying life has been taking a back seat to my wishes for the past few years. What helps me with this: setting goals. Acceptance. If acceptance doesn’t work, then acceptance for the moment. There’s always a Plan B. Even if I’ve gone through the alphabet already, you just start again from the beginning.

In the mornings, I usually jump out of bed. Regardless of whether I've slept well or not. Because in the morning – that's when I often feel my best. Then I want to take in, enjoy, and accomplish as much as possible. After maybe 2 hours, or sometimes from one minute to the next – a wave of fatigue rolls in. Coffee, tea, glucose, vitamins – I’m probably the most trained expert in how-to-get-back-on-track. Unfortunately, it only helps to a certain extent. So, I accept the moment, hoping that maybe I’ll be lucky and the wave will pass quickly. That I don't show how I feel? That I just want to close my eyes, that I’m too tired to sleep, that it's too exhausting just to get up and make myself a tea? It has its advantages to look healthy. But also disadvantages. Quite a few, actually. Sometimes I feel like I have to explain myself. I really want to be understood. But I just wait for the moment – to shake my booty.
