I'm sixty six, not in the best of health and still working full time (on a voluntary basis) running a small homelessness charity alongside of my role as a Chaplain in a Care Home. As you can imagine, both jobs have the potential to be very stressful. My lovely supportive husband has been working away during the week for the past three months and will continue to do so until the end of December. I see my children and grandchildren regularly, often having them to stay at weekends and my older daughter and granddaughter have just returned to NZ after staying with me for a (hectic) month long visit. I also have a lodger who it's a pleasure to have living with us.
In the last year I've dealt with all sorts of health problems and for the past three weeks I've had a hacking cough that's waking me up at night.
Usually I'm full of enthusiasm and have lots of energy to tackle my busy lifestyle, but right now I feel my 'get up and go' has left the building and I feel permanently tired. I'm on medication for thyroid deficiency and had a blood test today to check that's still okay. I know that I'm run down and I'm going away on holiday for a week soon to see if a rest in a warm climate can help me to shift this cough, but I wonder if anyone has any tips that will help me to improve my motivation? Is this tiredness (as some people insist) because I have reached an age where my body is simply not able to keep up with the demands of such a busy schedule?
