A Wonderful Kind of Exhaustion

How Living Authentically Can Keep Your Energy from Being Drained

A wonderful kind of exhaustion? Are you kidding me?

I hear you, but I beg you to hear me out. It is possible to go from being drained to a wonderful kind of exhaustion.

We are roughly a week into the new year. It’s a time when many of us consider what we need to change in our lives. Often it’s a question of how we can be physically healthier. I’m more curious about the state of your soul, because your soul health is interconnected with your physical, mental and emotional health. Boost any one of these, and there are ripple effects in the other areas.

Be honest. How is it with your soul? Are you drained at the end of the day, so exhausted that you wake up in the morning as though you haven’t slept at all? Or are you exhausted from knowing you lived authentically, sleeping with a contented and restorative sleep?

That, my friends, is the wonderful kind of exhaustion we are meant to experience.

Learn what authentic living can do for you! And just to ignite your curiosity (and give you a chuckle for the day)...

A racing clock of grief, overwhelm, and stress, covered in grace.

Grace for When You Feel Grief, Overwhelm and Stress My beautiful friends, This is a blog post that I was working on before Helene ravaged our Western North Carolina mountains.
