Too tired to title this

Day 151 / 366

Over the years I have realized that despite what I want to believe, I am not a superhuman. Like every other mortal, I need to sleep a certain number of hours, eat a certain amount of food, and get a certain amount of free time every day.

If you miss out on any one of these, the effect is never immediate. Which is why I get delusional that yeah maybe I can function just fine on 3 hours of sleep a day. But your body always keeps score. And soon it will decide to just mentally or physically shut down for a while.

It was that kind of a day today. I was sick but still thought I could go to the office, which in hindsight was a bad idea. Good thing that I got some rest in the evening. But I could not get much else done.

At the start of the year when I had a much healthier lifestyle, I was eating well and working out regularly, I always had so much energy. And I almost never felt ill. It’s funny that now that I actually need that kind of energy, I am too busy with work to think about diet or exercise.

It’s true that discipline is freedom. When I was disciplined about my health, I was free to work as many hours as I wanted. The workaholic in me hates that I have to worry about falling sick now. I guess it’s a wake-up call to get some discipline back into my life.
