Most people who are living in one day at a time recovery understand that when they are becoming overextended that they need rest. It appears when we have an iron in one fire and another iron in another fire and yet another iron in another fire we need to understand that we are actually and quickly burning ourselves out. Burning out is not a good place to be. Burned out can lead to a need for days of rest or what some people call a depressive period. In all reality if we had set healthy limitations on ourselves we would have been okay. There is no need for ourselves to get down on ourselves. We simply need to recoup. There are always possibilities of having tasks to do. It’s a reality of life. We just had a reminder of where overextending ourselves takes us. The fact that we are even living in recovery is all grace. We are in all truth grateful. Peace.
