I've noticed recently, when I am working and trying to remain conscious of myself in the moment, that I feel much more mentally exhausted at the end of the day. It is truly an exercise in mental capacities to keep your mind present for as long a period as possible, and to repeat this process over and over throughout the day (because inevitably your mind breaks from pure consciousness; otherwise you'd be enlightened...
). Don't get me wrong, it feels wonderful to be exhausted in this fashion, but sleep becomes a lot more welcoming at the end of a full day. Does this seem to happen to anyone else? Perhaps I could be exercising consciousness in a less mentally taxing way. Who knows... Do you?
