How Overtraining as a special parent impairs performance

 Now that my own life has become longer and smoother in terms of special parenting issues, I have shown that I still can't come back as bright and energetic as before. And no wonder, because the times of struggle and the passage of brutal stages are fraught with risk. The latter left a deep imprint, many times. On the other hand, I feel much better than ahead, both good and bad. However, I feel the weariness left from that time and the constant prostration lurking on my skin.

For a while, I wondered how it could be so hard to recover from the energetic bonus of peak periods, until, like an old athlete, I suddenly find myself in shape! For those who are not familiar with the concept of overtraining, it should be said that this means a state of tension from which it is usually impossible to get out. Overtraining significantly reduces performance, and in the worst case, it may take time to recover.

 It's no wonder that truly special fatherhood can be such a hassle, especially for endurance athletes. After all, attempts have been repeatedly made to exceed their own maximum performance without proper rest and recovery time. 

 When you have to fight long enough, you suddenly lack exercise, good nutrition, and rest to recover. Or really minimize the load. Fatigue remains, nothing particularly amuses. Or, if you're having fun, you can't. It would be more comfortable to be alone on the roof in the middle of nature, lying with a rotting tree, looking at the starry sky.

 Yes, I know it's not the same as overtraining athletes, but it was this mentality that helped me move forward.

 Overtraining requires a different specificity than prostration.

 An important discovery for me was that my prostration is not the usual variety, let alone depression. At the same time that I recognized my condition as healthy, I noticed why the remedies that I usually use - exercise, nutrition, contemplation, reading, etc. - do not work.      

 Exercise is nothing but complete rest. I couldn't make up for my fatigue with any performance because all the effects were overloaded. It was nice to accept my own demoralized performance.

 After this completion, I regained a lot of energy. When I was just doing what I was doing, I was suddenly doing much further than ahead. Counting on overtraining, I gave myself permission to rest, permission to recover without pressure to work. (Well, the truth is, I still can't afford to be bad or weak anywhere. There's still some work to be done. Maybe, many times, a cure or a product.)

 The inconsistency of the initiative, yes, is that performance improves when you don't try to work. Do other parents have similar gestures? Is it a common problem, especially for special parents, to try to act supernaturally when we really can't run after ourselves?

 Will it be agreed that we will take the busiest in 2022? Just like that, smoothly. Let's make our lives easier and avoid overtraining.
