Today’s to-do list was crushed, or rather crumpled because I got to none of the items. I just couldn’t get my brain going. The only thing I could seem to muster was watching one video and then another. I kept time thinking about what I should be doing, what others were doing. I should be able to focus on work from home days. I should be able to get things done without a deadline. I should be on my grind circa the 2010s hustle culture. But I just couldn’t do it today.
I would much rather have a planned day of nothingness, than one forced upon me. I plan to laze about, I feel rested. If I just happen into it, I feel like a failure. And yet, both are forms of rest.
I am learning to let go of hustling and forcing in order to start listening to my body and my mind. I am learning that rest and resets are necessary. I can choose to lean into these moments of rest my mind is craving. I think the time is nigh for me to embrace periods of slowness and intentionally accept lazy days.
