There’s a sense of weariness in the air. The news is chaotic and relentless. Skyrocketing prices are a drag. The list of things to conceivably worry about seems awfully long these days.

When you’re weary, you feel tired, as if your tank is empty and you don’t have the energy to face life’s demands with the same enthusiasm you usually do. You may find yourself making silly mistakes or treating others with less grace than you’d like to. Routine tasks seem to take longer, and you may find yourself avoiding things you know you shouldn’t. If you’re feeling somewhat weary as winter presses on, you’re not alone.
