As someone who suffers from cancer fatigue, I would like to add a comment. My fatigue is a result of my illness, it is a fact of life, I can not just "stop being tired". Nonetheless, how I think about it is up to me - as you say - and in this respect Stoicism helps me enormously. I accept it as the way things are, the biggest challenge is to exhibit moderation in my expectations of what I can actually achieve physically.
Very true. There are times in life when it's possible to summon more energy and times when we need to do exactly what you say and moderate expectations. Thanks for adding your comment.
You have a serious point. There was points in my life where the fatigue was present. Though, it increased my prowess more than I imagined. Of course it needs to be monitored but good case to be made.
