Monday snuck up on me.
Whoever designed weekends did a terrible job of it.
This 5 to 2 day ratio of work and homework/rest seems a bit off balance.
I would like just one more day between Saturday and Sunday.
Is that too much to ask?
There seems to be so much that needs to be done at home. But the desire to jump in and get it done just doesn’t take priority at times.
And that’s ok.
I am more important.
My health
My sanity
The ME work is top priority compared to HOUSEwork. Without me, none of the above would be done.
Just like a mechanic must take care of the tools of his trade,
So must we.
Our mental clarity, physical health and energy levels are needed to survive.
Not just to get the work done.
But to survive.
We must take the time for our bodies to recoup, regroup, recharge and regain our inner power.
I know I talk about this often.
It is important.
I tend to go. Go. Go. And forget to pause and recharge.
I have to remind myself I am not a machine. My parts may or may not be replaceable but I wouldn’t have the time for the procedure.
A vicious circle.
So when I can,
I do nothing.
I will curl on the couch and watch mind numbing shows, eat carbs and snuggle with My fur baby.
I will not strain any muscle in my body.
To include my brain.
I will stay in my pajamas all day.
No make up, bed hair, and possible little to no internet.
Me time.
Wasteful, never going to get it back time.
But it is more productive than you might think.
Yes, I must admit, at the end of the day I feel like I have wasted away time being lazy. Then I am reminded I can not go full force 24/7.
I will break down.
Mentally
Physically
Emotionally
My lazy days are self help.
Preventative maintenance.
My stop and smell the flowers kind of days.
My time of reflection.
Dreaming new dreams, starting fresh every morning.
Here is to your fresh start. ☕
Have a blessed week.
Go forth and conquer!
And don’t forget to
Love big,
Lorene
