The mind is willing but body is struggling....

Yes I know what you mean my friend, I feel the same way too lately, I wasn't able to post anything. I come home late at night and although the spirit is willing the flesh is weak. I will try to start something today and answering to your post, I hope will give me the right boost. I've been out of circulation these days. Miss mylotting especially you.LOL

I often have such experience as you have said above. Everyday, when after the whole work, I will sit in front of the computer and open myLot, then I will read some interesting discussions and post responses. You see, I often get tired because I work hard all the day, so sometimes I may not have any passion to do something else. However, perhaps I have formed a habit of posting responses in myLot. So, even if I am very tired and want a rest, I will still tend to spend some other time here. myLot is really an attractive place for me. Happy myLotting!

i hear ya! i often feel i should be doing something but often feel too tired. like yesterday, i wanted to get a jump on wrapping christmas presents but after work i was just too tired.

Happens to me a lot actually, especially when it comes to mylot because I know I have to do a certain amount of answering discussions every day or I will not make pay out at the end of the month. So there are times when I am just so tired and I want to go to bed but I will still try and crank out those certain amount of responses and sometimes I can't even really think of what to say or I can not type as fast as usual, and I am sitting here with one eye cloesed trying to write a logical response.

Well yes, i have experienced this a lot of times already. I remembered when i was still studying and having my duties in the hospital. After a long night of doing the requirements i still have to wake up early to go on duty and even if my mind would want to go and work but my body isn't cooperating. Thinking you can't be absent for one day or else it will be equivalent to another 3days duty :(

I often experienced the same situation like you.such as,I know I must study,but feel very tied,and the brain can't get started,even if I force myself to concentrate on the materials,but it can't work,and exhaust the body.this makes things even worse. when face this situation,I think,we should do some other things to relax,and get enough energy.relaxation is not only from the body,but from the spirits.just have a deep breath and have a fully relaxation in the bottom of heart.

Yes, I have experience that so many times. Usually I go mylotting at home after work. There are times that I just am very tired and when I try to post here or try to respond to post, I can only do one or two because I am tired already. Obviously when I am tired, I cannot think well as my mind and body wants me to sleep already. Of course I would follow the will of my body and rest. I am thinking that when I am tired and force myself mylotting, I would be ineffective.

I experience that often. After a whole day at work, I am always excited to go home and settle in front of my computer to post a lot of discussions, get in touch with my friends via Facebook or YM!. However, there are times when I just do not have the strength and so I just go to bed and sleep.

hey moneymakingtoday... go have some rest..hehe... i guess i don't come here when i am tired coz i have the habit of sticking to the computer for long once i log into this site, so i come and rest and try to catch up next day, well though i am not really that frequent here... but you go have some rest!

hello, wow just like when i volunteered to help my brother in his work. in my situation, i can read but responding and commenting is another, it's hard to do so since body is kinda weak and can't manage. yes, i have encountered this situation before and it happened last week only. well, it's better to cooperate with the body since the mind can't really sustain if the body is weak

I used to play football up to the college level. After every practice and game, I felt like you feel and just wanted to sleep. What has helped me is to keep my meals light and frequent. Take around 5-6 meals a day. They shouldn't be that big, so don't stuff yourself. Just enough to give you energy until the next feeding. This will keep your blood sugar level at a normal rate and speed up your metabolism. Also try some deep breathing if you have to do some work, but don't have enough energy. This will help give you a shot of relaxed energy for another 1/2 to 1 hour. In your particular situation now, I would just go to bed and worry about posting tomorrow.

I remember when i was a senior student, i wanted to stay up to study more, but my body told me to go to bed to have a good sleep. I know it is good to study hard but i just couldnot resist the comfort of my bed. And now i want to get up early to prepare breadfast for my family but my body just likes to stay under the warm cover. LOL.
