After all my usual things were done (exercise etc). I sorted out my work bag ready for work tomorrow and sorted my desk area out after making a couple of cards. I had a chill-out day. It's been a full-on time off so it's nice to relax a little I read an article recently about how guilty we are made to feel for not doing something all the time, and how now and again the most productive thing to do is nothing at all. I remember being at work full time and on my days off cramming in as much as possible. No wonder I was always so run down. I was burning out and didn't realise it was ok to just have time out with no plans. Even now I have to stop myself from planning too much, setting silly deadlines for myself like card making. Although I make a lot less now I can still catch myself thinking I need to batch make Halloween or Christmas ones.
I need to start permitting myself to a day off now and then. A read, watch tv day, a do-nothing day. We all should.
