Sometimes, it will take the rest of your life.
I canāt stress this enough. I wish I could get through to everyone I know. If you try to organise and be productive with every minute of your day, eventually, your body will pull the rug out from under you in a dramatic fashion, and you may end up being able to do very little at all, in a world that has no sympathy for people who need to rest.
So rest now. And work on making sure the people around you know itās OK to rest.
And donāt feel guilty for resting. Practice telling yourself that rest - quality rest, where youāre not stressing about something you feel you ought to be doing - is actually a productive thing to do for your body.
You are an animal. You need to respect that animalās needs. That includes laying about doing nothing as much as it does enrichment and running about.
Even your fucking computer gets overheated and slow if you donāt allow it to shut down and update sometimes (which is actually a lot of what sleep does for humans, btw). You eve notice how sometimes your browser just crashes sometimes because you have too many tabs open, or one of the tabs is causing the whole machine to run slowly?
So donāt tell yourself you want to work like a machine because guess what? Machines fucking fall over all the time if you overload them, try to do too many things at once, or donāt let them rest.
Rest knits up the ravelled edge of care.
