I’m trying to get used to the concept that I don’t have to deserve to rest - I can just rest because I want to. Is anyone else like this? I’m really bad at resting. Bad at the not-doing. I’m always in motion. Never still. And when I do rest or take a break or treat myself it’s always after a very intense project or many consecutive weeks of hard work. I always felt like I had to “deserve” it - “ok now I’ve completely exhausted myself to the point of a meltdown and worked harder than any human being should - NOW it’s ok for me to take a break”? Someone recently opened my eyes to how nuts this is; this idea of deserving a break. What if resting doesn’t have to be a reward? What if I could (should?) rest just because... I want to? Mind boggling!? Replenishing ourselves is so important but I always feel like I’m wasting time. So... I’m working on it. Took a nap the other day - for no reason other than that I was tired (I normally never nap). Read a chapter of a new book yesterday instead of opening my computer to “finish my days work” (which actually never ends). And today, after teaching yoga and putting the baby down for a nap and cleaning the kitchen I opened my computer to dive into my inbox and in the corner of my eye, I saw the glittering water of the pool right outside... The sun is shining. The baby is asleep. WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE?????? So for the past hour I’ve just been out here. Doing absolutely nothing. Slightly uncomfortable, I admit. It’s a very weird feeling because my to-do list is long. But I don’t have to deserve this! I can just enjoy it because I want to. Take that, over-achieving, mega-intense type A personality! I’m mellowing you out one dip at a time☺️?? .
