I learned that emotional stress can cause you to have a very tiring day. I dealt with two girls today at school that were having problems. One would not do her work and would come in late when I sent her to go do her work. So I sent her down to skills. She was planning on doing the Science Fair the next day and I told her that she had to have everything done or she could not go. She got about 16 things done of the 33 missing assignments she had, so she was valiantly trying. She had that night to get it all done.
Then, I had another girl that did not listen when I asked the class to come back in from recess (they had gotten red in the lunch room. They have a system of green, yellow, red for behavior so they were practicing correct behavior during lunch). She didn't listen to me or the friend I sent after her so I took her down for behavior. That one was full on crying and being upset that she didn't hear me. I explained that she heard what her friend said and decided not to listen, so she had to deal with the consequences.
I was so tired when I got home. I actually want to lay down at 7:00. It did not help when my mom text me and told me my grandma was in the hospital with pneumonia. I totally understand now why we need to take a break from things and laugh. I can look back on my day and laugh a little now (not about my grandma), but the other situations. I realize now how important it is to have spiritual strength during that time as well. Spiritual and Emotional well-being are very tightly linked to each other. I need to work on that. Personal Progress would help with that.
I am grateful that I have knowledge of the gospel and it helps me to rely on the Lord more and more each day because we can't do it on our own. We need that extra help and push to keep going each day.
