Acknowledging Limitations

I had the worst day today. Today I burned out. It began with me not having slept since Sunday night, Monday morning. In fact, I still haven't slept. I've been awake for almost 36 hours. I was and am exhausted. And despite this, I couldn't allow myself to miss class and made myself work half a day of work. I forgot that I can't do strenuous exercise in the evenings because although it makes me tired at first it has a sort of wiring effect on me, making me unable to relax or sleep. Which means I can't do the fitness challenge. It is too much and it pains me to have to admit it. I'm an overachiever of the worst kind because I do not allow myself room to not be able to do everything and feel ok with that. I see my friends able to do it when they are carrying the same load if not more and I feel ashamed. I really really want to do the fitness challenge but I think I will have to let that one go. Aside from church my priorities are work and school. I cannot jeopardize that. I cannot burn out again like today. There is too much at stake.
