The art of doing absolutely nothing

My weeks are busy, my days long, and nights short. So how come on the weekend I find it hard to just be still? I always complain that I have too much to do, yet the thought of not doing something is frightening. Could it be that I feel useless if I am not constantly running around with a goal? Yesterday I forced myself to do just that nothing. After a morning of doing a few errands I decided to take the afternoon off. I decided to catch up on all of my shows that have been filling my DVR for months. I binge watched criminal minds. I had popcorn, and a glass of bubbly all from the comfort of my bed. Allowing myself that time showed me that I actually can take my foot off the gas every once and a while.

So to all of you that feel that you can’t rest, yes you can just do it.
