You can lie down.
You can close your laptop.

You can even cancel plans and take the day off.

But if your mind is still running through your to-do list, you’re not resting.

You’re just pausing the pressure.

I used to think I was bad at relaxing.
But I wasn’t.

I was just so used to measuring my worth in output that stopping felt unsafe.

Every time I slowed down, a voice in my head whispered, “You’re falling behind.”

And I believed it, for years.
Until one day, I realised…
I wasn’t behind.

I was just disconnected.

Disconnected from knowing that - IF I TRULY DO WHAT I WANT, IT WILL ALL FALL BACK INTO PLACE.

And their were times, I just wanted to sleep, to take a nap, to give myself a break
Gah once I allowed myself to follow what my body needed - without any guilt, any fear of missing out
I actually started moving forward faster
More dance
More work
Better mood
How?

No 1 - trusting that giving my body what it needs the most right now (in this context rest) was the best I can do for long term success.
2nd, This is my path, maybe someone doesn’t need an afternoon nap, or 2 hour solid break in the afternoon, but I love and thrive when I get that, and hence, it’s what I will do 🥰
Follow your lane, do your thing, it’s the best you can do for now, for later, forever ❤️
