A week ago I asked Them for a break. I knew I needed a rest, I knew I hadn’t been able to make myself successfully take one in literal years, I knew I was riding rather past the edge of burnout -- when your spouse, sister, friends, advisor, chaplain, therapist, AND gods are all being insistent about needing a break there’s really no arguing. Like, alllll the winter decay and mycelial imagery from Freyr, Loki’d been pushing the rest rest break now time to recuperate recovery needed since he showed up, the Old Man pointing out (repeatedly) that wanderers and warriors who don’t take time to heal and recover wind up being not much use, the works.
And even with all that I equivocated, I hemmed and hawed, I was all like, “If You want, if Y’all think it’s a good thing, or neutral I guess, and like I know I’m shit at actually managing this so like I’m pretty okay with Y’all dragging me to a stop and making me rest if I’m failing that shit on my own, but only if it’s no trouble....”
Then They laughed at me and took me up on it, and y’all. It has been the most fucking restful week of my damn DECADE. Which is just to say I’m really fucking grateful, and I love Them.
Listen up, brain. REST DAYS ARE GOOD FOR YOU!!!
I don’t know why I have to constantly remind myself this. Today was really relaxing and I enjoyed the down time very much. Sometimes you just need to spend time with family and friends and just chill out for a bit.
the journey is a wild ride, full of unexpected twists + turns. so, remember: take care of yourself along the way. IT’S OKAY TO REST, TO BE STILL.

restmaxxing this week because that’s also part of discipline
There's so much peace and strength in allowing yourself to rest and also enjoy the little things in life instead of being productive all day and everyday. Resist the social pressure on your free days. Go read those books. Enjoy the sight from your window. Breathe. Every day is unique in its own manner
Done with classes for the day. I am deliberately giving myself an hour to relax and watch something fun and then I will do my homework. This is good.
It's ok that I planned to get up at 8 run errands and go to the gym and it's past 10 and I'm still in bed. I work 2 jobs and went to the gym 3x this week. And I went to court this week and dealt with some real emotionally draining shit. I'm tired and I really just could not get out of bed this morning Im gonna try to be productive today but I'm not gonna beat myself up like I've done in the past for not completing every task I planned to. Ya girl is no longer doing that. PERIODTTT.
