#notalldays

Some weeks are tough. Tougher than others. Some days are harder to get up and out of bed than others. Some days To Do lists manage to be accomplished and other days we have anxiety over what we aren't doing while we also ignore doing it. Yesterday I woke late (I also stayed up late). I took a hike and had a cup of coffee and then I went back to bed for four more hours. I woke, walked George, had a cup of tea and sat in the patio reading for two hours before another walk, made dinner and took the best feeling shower ever and went back to bed. It was just one of those days. Partially physical. Partially just drained mentally. My body had a crazy busy weekend and I started my period in it all, too. That drains me to no end and at least one day out of an exhausting seven I seem to fall. And then a busy Monday. All lovely, all tiring and trying on me. Tuesday, with plans to get so much done... I just couldn't. I felt guilty. Ashamed. Mad at myself. And because of that... Depressed. When I woke from my nap and had my tea sitting on the porch, instead of diving into a late night of work to catch up, instead I relaxed and enjoyed and thought to myself "Your body needed it. Let it have it or in the long run she won't run. Because I rested today, I will do tomorrow." And I allowed the guilt to float away in the evening breeze enjoying the summer evening on my porch with tea and a book and watching my dog mesmerized by a dragonfly. I smiled. My 2019 is a year of waste no time. It is the most valuable thing we own, but what we often throw away like it is worthless. At the same time, we need to give ourselves a break. Physically and mentally. If our body calls for it, rest. If our soul calls for it, rest. If our mind calls for it, rest. And feel no shame. Sometimes the art of doing nothing is not wasteful at all. But needed, and something to cherish. #theartofdoingnothing #rest #physical #periods #exhausted #tired #wastedtime #guilt #shame #depressed #mental #mindbodysoul #cherish #noshame #betterme #morningmeditation #spirit #somedays #notalldays #nap #sleep #wastenotime #time #life #beingawriter https://www.instagram.com/p/B0mACQDAegT/?igshid=guzv92bj3fgg
