Ana Marie Cox Instagram – I’ve been producing a lot of content lately, as you might have noticed. All of it is work I want to do; some of it I even get paid for. It’s still easy to confuse the amount of work I do with how much I’m worth. It’s too easy to push through the feeling of accomplishment and wind up on the side of “I have nothing left.”
The past few days, I have felt myself starting to hit a wall… Like a slow-mo video of a crash test dummy, just beginning to see the car hood crumple up in front of me. But I am hitting the breaks before everything’s completely totaled. I didn’t do any work today. I went to a meeting and to yoga. I was in bed at 8pm, and am winding up my day with this reminder for the rest of you: Whatever it is you feel bad about not getting done today can wait. Worrying about it now won’t get it done. *Decide to rest.*
Deciding to rest is the only thing that allows me to actually let go, I’ve found. *Decide* to not do a thing, and tomorrow, you may have the energy to do it. Or you’ll make a decision to not do it again.
Sleep well. | Posted on 26/Mar/2024 07:27:25
