Maestro Jimmy,
Thank you for your compassionate and caring feedback, thank you.
And I can confirm your advice full hearted;
If you'll allow me to restate in the words of a friend of mine who has been practicing clinical psychology for 25 years:
"Most people come to me, stating that there is something amiss with their minds/patterns of thought as they are in full depression or burnout. 30minutes of questions on their living conditions later, I can for 90% of them simply state the truth, that there is nothing wrong with their minds but there is with their basic living conditions: food, sleep and or exercise."
Even our classical ancestors in Italy and Greece knew as much "mens sana in corpero sana"
I myself walk to work and back (10k) each day and try and keep up with my 2 sons in our local fitness.
As far as sleep is concerned I completely follow your take on getting older. I work in a sector where a call late at night is more the norm than the exception. And in getting older I noticed my resilience for these interventions is dwindling
My burnout/in, however it's called nowadays, comes in cycles. I know why they arrive, but sometimes "Vesuvius erupts" and no amount of selfcare can preempt this. We're faced with the inevitable and just have to get through it, cfr. my post on discipline.
Again very nice meeting you Jimmy and keep taking care of yourself as only by doing so, we remain available for our loved ones and ourselves.
Kind regards,
Kada

The world is kinda crazy right now so taking things in moderation feels as important as ever. I struggle myself with adequate sleep, but it's getting better. No late shifts for me but occasionally long overtime and big piles on my table. I've had burnouts in the past and snapped but I'm getting better at saying "no" or "that's good enough". Not interested in having a heart attack just to value engineer something down by one or two percent.
Peace out and take care of yourself!

Maestro Sugamon,
Thank you for your pointed feedback.
I confirm that it remains a ifelong cahllenge to learn to impose limits on oneself. For me my children helped make this extremely clear. One night when they were very young; because diet and a lack of sleep, was having cardiac issues, my wife told me: "please don't kill our childrens dad!" and this simple sentence, to this day, simply stating it shakes me to my core in a way I have no analogy for.
and following this, I still give my job a lot, but no longer 'my all', that is for my kids, dad.
Kind regards,
Kada
