active > reactive
get deliberate in your thought and actions, including having fun and relaxing, even when—ESPECIALLY when—feeling exhausted.
- simply setting your intentions would help
- aligns your behavior with what you’re “supposed to do”, which produces anxiety when they are out of sync
- that’s when you know you need to do something restorative, and would be more beneficial than forcing yourself to push through (which might end up more unproductive)
