With work being so demanding lately, I’ve had to let a lot of things go. I’m not filling every weekend hour with garden tasks or creative output, I’m choosing rest at least one day a week.
They say you can’t pour from an empty cup, and it’s absolutely true. Taking the time to rest and give myself a mental and physical break is so beneficial in the long run. I’m not going to be able to output at the highest level forever; I have to pace myself.
As the weather grows steadily warmer, I’m finding it easy to lie under the cherry tree with the dog and read a book, like when I was a kid.
Believe it or not, taking intentional time to relax has actually helped me to be more productive when I am actually working. Life is funny that way.
