Feeling frazzled?
Anxious before you open your eyes,
searching for coffee to brighten your energy,
fading and shaky by late morning,
spacey and slumping in productivity after lunch,
people irritating you in the evening,
so exhausted but can't sleep,
waking at 4 AM with regret and the to-do list…
It’s not you. So many people are experiencing similar blocks to achieving goals and connecting with others.
