Today's the first day in several days that I haven't felt underwater.

I'd been avoiding getting back to a number of people, because I knew that each response required its own stream of work. And life was lif-ing.

I chose to give myself time and space to recover.

I feel myself climbing out of that emotional dip today.

I've been more productive this morning than I've been in the psst several days - but I don't feel underwater today.

I'm not sure it's avoidance if life is life-ing. Sometimes it's physics. We cannot do all the things. Space to recover is the wise choice.

I pressed the heart button before watching the video.

Is that presumptuous?

If by presumptuous you mean perfect then yes.

Since mid 2023 I’ve scheduled in a 2 hour nap every Saturday and Sunday afternoon. I honour this NO MATTER WHAT even when I don’t feel tired and go to sleep even if the kids don’t want to nap (just lock the house and bathrooms so they are safe). It’s just been a game changer for me!
