I learned in Basic Training that I can move my body excessively with only minimal strain. But my MIND is another story.
Hard work for me is all mental.I envy those who only deal with physical work. Physical work I am GREAT at. The hard work is the emotional stuff. Take David's job vs mine for instance: He works primarily on equipment. And while a piece of equipment may not perform the way one would like, it stays out of your head and allows you to figure it out with minimal input from itself. My job consists almost exclusively of the "pieces of equipment" (Primarily Children) I'm attempting maintenance on, to interrupt frequently and even attempt to tell me how I'm doing it wrong.
This wears me out so much more than the physical labor.
And at the end of the day, I truly want to sit on my butt and indulge..... thus my cushiness.
The reason this comes up is because I have started using my "muscles" (emotionally, mentally and spiritually) so much more lately that I'm seeing strides of progress.I'm seeing progress I never imagined. And now, I am TRULY exhausted.
