"Stress is the trash of modern life- we all generate it but if you don't dispose of it properly, it will pile up and overtake your life."
~Terri Guillemets ~
It's ok to give ourselves a break when we need one; to ride ourselves a little less hard, relieve ourselves of condemnation and criticism for a spell, and watch movies all day if we need to for our mental health.
This is not an endurance contest where whoever puts the most hardship on themselves wins the prize. It's a journey and an adventure and we can float along every once in a while. It's not always about the paddling and the pushing and the distance traveled from point A to point B.
I allow for rest and rejuvenation when I need it. My life is about more than just survival.
