I’ve been feeling off this weekend — like I said yesterday, the need for rest is all-consuming. But resting my body because I need to let my foot injury heel has the fun side effect of driving me a little bananas. I’ve been moving so much recently that not moving has me thinking I’m sick or sad when really I’m just worn out and lacking the energy I usually get from daily running.
I know, I know. There are other things you can do. As much as I preach self-compassion it’s hard sometimes.
So I’m going to do some end of the week gratitude again to focus on the good:
- Taylor Swift’s rerelease of Fearless. I can’t believe we got three new TSwift albums in a year. What a gift.
- Talking about said rerelease and Taylor Swift’s discography with my best friend.
- Talking with my best friend.
- A Friday night Among Us game to blow off some steam.
- Spider-Man fanfiction.
- The rain last night, pattering against the window as I went to bed.
- Amazing local takeout (comfort) food.
- Getting all the work I needed to do done today (while listening to TSwift).
- Dancing.
- One week until vacation. Breathe.
With Love,
Natalie
