Those of us in 12 step recovery programs are familiar with this concept. We use the acronym HALT. Don't get too hungry, angry, lonely, tired. Also in digging into doing the 4th step of the 12 steps, it states "fearless moral inventory" but directions in the "big book" also describe setting our fears down on paper. We are also directed to continue to watch out for fear (among a number of other things) and to always reach out for support. So I can whole-heartedly agree with you on this 😊
I needed this today. Like really *really* needed it. Was in panic mode skimming my overflowing inbox with the only 20 minute snippet of time to myself until next Tuesday and am glad I came across it. Thank you for the mini lifeboat that is your work. <3
I feel this! Going to bed early, trying to be calm as I deal with medical issues, and showing my sweetheart all the appreciation for his support! We're going into that rough retail season and I'm trying to show all the goodwill I think everyone deserves at this time of year.❤️💚
David Whyte famously described how the anecdote to exhaustion isn’t rest, but wholeheartedness. To your first point, we need margin as much as we need to wear ourselves out doing what we can’t NOT do.

so lovely, and so important!!
Wonderful message. Very true and meaningful. Thank you, Brad, for this important reminder :)
As always, another good word...Thank you, Brad...
Thank you, Brad. 🙏
You’re right as always. Thank you for being a bright spot on a cold Tuesday morning.
Genius post Brad, as ever
So very true. Definitely gets you to look inside yourself. Thank you!
I also want to add that the best can’t happen when the person is hungry and/or worried about where they are going to sleep for the night

So thankful for this!
