So true. Feeling physically tired after doing physical work, when you actually feel tiered and could go to sleep, is very different from mental tiredness, from working on a computer, where I still feel restless but utterly drained. And different again from the compassion fatigue and exhaustion from caring for people.
That’s exactly it Charlie, restless but utterly drained! Excellent point too on caring and compassion fatigue, it can take so much out of us, and we need to make sure we fill up our own cups regularly. 🙂
Yes... love this Holly 👏💕✨ I’m all up for happy exhaustion! 👍 I felt like this on my recent trip to Finland... all that fresh Nordic air.. I slept like a baby over there! 😆

Ooooh I bet Finland was amazing!! I've only been to Norway briefly (just Oslo), I'd love to see more of Scandinavia, especially the great outdoors.
It was absolutely incredible... I've got a huge pull to Scandinavia as I'm half Danish 🇩🇰🥰
