Can anyone recommend good tips to have more energy throughout the day? I sleep a decent amount now due to wfh but job is pretty stressful. My bf is much more energetic than I am and I always feel bad that I want to take naps all the time. He doesn’t complain but I want to feel more alive and not so dead anymore.

Could you be dehydrated? When I dont drink water for 2 days I get extremely tired and even wake up tired from my naps

Yeah it happens. I drink gallons of coffee and these are days where I only drink glass or two of water esp when I'm too busy. Working on improving tho

Eat breakfast, exercise, hydration.

This makes me curious about your mental health. A lot of people are experiencing anxiety and depression and fatigue could be an indicator. I led a webinar a couple weeks ago that offered free CPE; so presumably most attendees were CPAs. 40% said they were experiencing anxiety, 6% cited depression and 2% said they were experiencing another mental illness. You wouldn’t be alone if that’s what’s going on for you.
Looking at this from a different angle, listen to Esther Perel and her thoughts on vitality and what makes us feel most alive. You can also journal about what’s making you feel dead.
Good luck!

HELP! Company wants me to move to the US for a Remote role - Is this reasonable? Hi, I'm moving through the stages for a Remote US role as a Canadian candidate.

Good thing is, this comp also has a Canandian office BUT they said bringing me on through the Canadian office is not smth they do.

Is this reasonable?? How can i best negotiate? Thx!

Comforting others:
When someone tells me bad news regarding their health, I say everything I am supposed to say (I’m sorry to hear that, I’m here for you, etc) EXCEPT “everything is going to be ok”. Because I can’t guarantee that and I really don’t know if everything is going to be ok. I was taken aback recently when a friend told me I am calloused and cold-hearted for not being able to say those words. Is she right? Should I start saying this for the purposes of providing comfort only??
