I have adrenal fatigue. And I highly suspect it’s because of the combination of bad luck and high expectations last year of not getting the visa lottery, hating Delaware, disliking my job and general hopelessness of the future. The consequence of that is I get tired more more easily and faster; I also get so drained when I get angry. Basically anything that raises my adrenaline/stress (cortisol?) levels past what they already are (high) is not good unless there’s good stuff there as well. The unintended side effect of that, is that I have had to learn patience and destressing techniques, which are good skills to have in your lifetime anyways.

The Zen… I need the Zen in my life. Hence why I blog/journal really, and swim in the morning. The semi-meditative activities help me recenter myself…

What’s funny is that initially intended to write this post in a more descriptive manner of my daily life. But now that I’m actually writing it I realize at the end of the day what is important is my Zen. All the rest just fades away, and those few grains of wisdom left in my palm are all I need to lead a content and happy life really.
