Signs that your mind is tired

I think everyone has their own signs for when they are feeling mentally tired or overwhelmed.
I think everyone has their own.

My sign is that I become unable to read books.

The words just slide right past my eyes.
The story just passes right through my head.

My favorite stories, my time for healing.
That time turns into nothing more than time being consumed.

I just stare at the book.
Before I know it, I'm only concerned with social media.

It's hard to switch gears once I've reached this point.
The more I think, 'I have to try a little harder,' the more I just spin my wheels.
That is why I need to stop for a moment, let my feelings out, and organize them.
I have to stop and organize them.

Talk, think, and chew on things.
Talk again, and pull it all together.

Once my head is clear, the stories naturally start to sink in again.

There are many good ways to clear your mind and reset your thoughts.

Having 'room' in your heart.
Just that alone allows you to be kind.

I'll save my stories and books for when that time comes.
