There is a limit to the function of our body

Most times when I wake up in the morning, my wish will always be that I wish we had more than twenty-four hours. I am the only one feeling that twenty-four hours is not enough time. The moment you wake up to their list of things waiting for you before the end of the day, you will feel like you didn’t do enough. Most of the time we feel that way not because the time is not enough; the problem is we want to work round the clock, which means we are trying to work beyond our physical and emotional limits. The fun thing is we will never admit that we are overworking.

Recently the situation that creates this feeling of doing too much for me is that there is a lot of responsibility on my shoulders; finding a way to balance many responsibilities always lands me doing more whenever I remember that I have to succeed financially for my family and people around me. The pressure to keep doing more increases. Most times I will work around the clock. We are in a society where when you are resting you are seen as a lazy person. I keep pushing and hustling even when my physical body has gotten to its limit.

We always feel like we are doing too much because of emotional responsibilities inside you. There is this feeling that you are carrying a lot on your shoulders; there are times you are the hero of everyone around you. You see yourself doing more than you should do to make people around you happy and comfortable; you solve problems, listening to their problems and helping the little way you can. For over three years now I have been carrying family burdens. Currently now I neglect my emotional needs. I do all this to make sure that family is okay and appreciates my effort to them. I am functioning well, but inside me I am completely empty.

Financial pressure may seem like nothing, but the pressure coming from it unmeasurably majority of us are constantly hustling, pushing stability, trying every possible way to survive the fear that we don’t want to fail or you don’t want to disappoint family, pushing many into unhealthy routines. For someone like me, I sacrifice most of the things I enjoy doing because I want to be productive.

We so much believe that if we slow down, it will hinder us from being successful. This still remains the truth; we are not machines. We need proper sleep and rest and to take proper care of ourselves; we deserve it. There is a limit to the function of our body; we should not overwork it. Take a break when necessary. Don't say it is laziness; sleep is very important. It will help to put your body and soul together, and when you wake up, you will be more productive.
