For what it's worth, I'm also here for the rambling. Isn't that part of the slowing down and being more restful? This past year for the first time in my life I made it a goal to rest more. To take naps, cancel plans when I need more me time, watch more tv and movies ect. I've managed to do a marvelous job of it. My favorite days are the ones where my phone doesn't need charging at the end. Where I catch both a beautiful sunrise and spectacular sunset. Where I read a good book or play games outside with the neighborhood kids. The ones that have no real purpose other than to feed dopamine to my brain and take a break from the busy world. I do feel guilt about this. My so called friends never let forget that I am the most privileged person and that I should feel guilty. But more than that I worry that indulging in this lifestyle will have me being left behind. That everyone will just leave and I will never again fit into the world I'm supposed to be living in with tasks, jobs, and to do lists. That I will be lonely forever and somehow just become the mythical creepy witch that lives all alone in the forest. 🤷🏻♀️ Here's to everyone finding the right balance. 🍻
I LOVE your goal. We're working on the very same thing. It's not easy, I always think every moment of free time should be used for creation, and that's just not sustainable. You hit the nail on the head...here's to the RIGHT balance!
