You can’t pour into areas from a place of emptiness. To be a good leader, partner, friend, parents, whatever, you need to constantly be refilling yourself with things that are life-giving.
Skipping work or class and watching Netflix for six hours is not a “mental health day.” There is nothing mentally beneficial to doing that. You won’t have anything beneficial to pour back into your real life the next day.
Read a book. Get some exercise. Pray, meditate, do some yoga. Garden. Landscape. Re-organize your bookshelf. Write a blog. Fold your clothes.
You feel exhausted all the time because you’re pouring and pouring and pouring, but you never spend your free time filling yourself back up with significant things.
