My good friend used to have these things called “mental health days” where she would stay home and just rest instead of working. I never really understood that, until now.

I totally suck at resting. I hate feeling like I am unproductive or wasting time and I have a tendency to create an additional list of work for myself so that I don’t ever sit still and just be.

I have a tendency to glorify busy, I feel best when I am working, but today I woke up knowing that putting on pants was going to be hard, I needed a mental health day. A day to loosen the grip on hustling, a day of sipping coffee and eating cookies, a day with stretchy pants, no bra, and a blanket.

Cheers to squeezing in a little rest where I can, before the ‘on season’ really kicks into high gear!
