A wave of tiredness overcame me towards the end of working with my last client today. Exhaustion. This is unusual for me. Both my girls have commitments this evening, so once I deliver them to their destinations I’m going to have the house to myself. This is also a rare occurrence. A whole evening at home with only a bit of taxi-ing to do. I’m going to heat up a little left-over Indian food from last night and curl up on the couch with a good book. That’s all. I’m just going to take care of Me, get a good night’s rest, and start fresh again tomorrow. Not exciting. Not productive in the traditional sense. But taking care of ourselves actually is productive. Sometimes doing nothing is doing a whole lot for ourselves. Tonight I’m going to do “nothing” but rest and recharge. And that’s a lot. Do you allow yourself this option when you need it?
Oh I know just how you feel, good to get some rest.
🙂
Yes. Sometimes a day spent in my pjs, reading and napping with a cat is the best thing I can do for myself. And it’s important for a mom to take care of herself, so she can take care of her kids. Hope you are re-charged.
I couldn’t agree more, Donna. Thanks!
