Embrace Your Seasons: Balancing Productivity and Rest | @caroline-cavanagh | Anxiety Specialist

You can't have a summer all the time. You have to have a hibernation stage. And you can even take that into a day. Nighttime is winter. It's when we restore. Probably from, well, for most people, 6, for me about 8, through to mid-morning is springtime. Energy is building, you're getting going. Mm-hmm. And then 11 till 4 is your high productive time. And then late afternoon, early evening is your autumn. So if you try and make your summer 12 hours long and you don't get enough winter, it fails. And I think when you can start to bring some of those nature systems and put them into your life, it is okay. You don't like winter. I struggle with winter too. But we need to accept it's okay to quieten down in winter and have some quiet time. You don't need to be revving, in your analogy, At Mach 5, in fact, you can't, you'd break. Have some winter, have some time when you're down at the 1.
