Writing exercise

Most of the time in my work I don’t have the desire of talking and I feel something inside me has been sapping my energy. I feel tired and the only thing I want to do is to lie in bed and do nothing but I feel that I have to be professionally dedicated to my work just like everyone else around me does. I often go to a meeting room and do meditation when certain emotion arises which is therapeutic however sometimes I’m too tired to do meditation. I’m hoping to be more positive and achieve more but I realize that my internal kid needs my attention very often. I have to stop doing anything sometimes so as to have a lot of communication with the internal kid and take care of her. I haven’t found the balance between achieving more in my work and taking care of my internal kid yet, although I know this is important for me to figure out.
