Conflicting needs

I had a full weekend, lots of connection and yet I didn’t take the time to connect with myself. I felt over stimulated and tired and just allowed myself to feel and notice where I was.
I had conflicting needs, wanting to connect with all the people I had the opportunity to be with and wanting a bit of down time for myself. I made it through without the down time and was able to express my feelings around my unmet needs without blaming or judging. That felt really good. How do you manage conflicting needs? How clear are you about what you need in any moment?
Have a grateful day!
