It is a moment of rest, so needed after an unusual amount of work this week. I had to keep going and going without breaks to get it all done. The pressure and anxiety were high. I had to give so much to the projects and to others, that I forgot to give to myself. But now there’s silence. This moment is all my own.
II am taking a moment to breathe, intentionally. To sit and be aware that I am breathing, to fill my lungs completely, to take delight in this moment now. And now I will rest.
I am putting down my phone. I am resisting the urge to scroll endlessly. This moment is mine; I won’t so freely give it away. I won’t swap the demands of work for the demands of the algorithm. I will direct my own thoughts now, instead of letting distraction guide me.
I will listen to my body and my mind. I will sit here and breathe. And I will rest.
