It’s been a bit of a week this week; I’m currently sitting at the Sydney International Rowing Centre, waiting for my last athlete of the day; if she wasn’t booked in, I could return to the hotel. This is my first time away with Rowing Australia, where I am working the first three days of their team selection trials.
Compassion fatigue is real. As a new parent, it’s very fuckin’ real, and I have a good baby!
It takes mental energy to be compassionate. You have to consider the bit picture, consider all angles. When you’re tired, stressed, running late etc, it’s way Fuckin’ easier to just get the shits over something, be grumpy got a bit and then move on.
I think when we’re tired we’re emotionally lazy and that makes us feel abt to process things and the quickest, most convenient way we can.
I agree with Sam, it’s takes time and mental energy to be compassionate, and most people are in such a rush they don’t have time to think about others.
Gabor is the goat.

I hope everyone is feeling better now.

Keep up the recovery!
