I’ve been trying to change my vocabulary around time. Instead of saying “I didn’t have the time,” I’m trying to say “I didn’t make the time.”
Also, often it’s a matter of juggling priorities and priorities also shift all the time. People also come with their own priorities that throw a wrench in our carefully crafted plans.
I’m trying to be more intentional with how I spend my time but also forgiving. It happens that I beat myself up when I spend my time relaxing or distracted. Not easy to navigate those contradictory feelings.
Yes, this so true. I am very much the same and it's not black and white at all. Definitely easier said than done and it's not easy to disregard your environment or the people you interact with and care for...
I used to feel guilty when I 'rest'. See how ridiculous that sounds? You are not alone. I'm trying to teach myself that we do not have to 'earn' rest - just like food and water, it is a necessity.
I added the book to my library list! Interestingly, they only had the audiobook version and no ebook version. But I'm excited to read/listen soonish!
Awesome, it is so good!
