I didn’t write yesterday. Other things I did not do yesterday: take the dog for a run, put away my laundry, pick up my books from the library, call my mother. I started out the day motivated….but it takes a lot of energy to manage Eli within the context of work and the larger family unit, and sometimes the weight of it is just too much. So I took a nap during my lunch break, and after work I watched Derry Girls and TikTok and did a crossword puzzle. Here’s the important part: I did not beat myself up for slacking off, I let myself soak it up.
Wow, another nail hit right on the head! Turning the p-word and being 'lazy' into legit self-care practice was a critical reframe for me as well. I beat myself up with guilt for years. Now I fully enjoy my me-time :-).
