When was the last time you had a day completely to yourself? A day off from all your responsibilities, where it was all about you? A day to play or explore or sleep or just sit around and eat cheese doodles?
You might reply that you could never do this because you are very busy doing whatever it is you are busy doing. Well, the more demanding and hectic your life, the more you need a day like this. If you keep going at breakneck speed, you are going to burn out. Go ahead. Take a day. Once your batteries are recharged, you will be more productive in your work. And chances are your family will appreciate a more relaxed, less cranky version of yourself. It may take a bit of creativity to get your responsibilities covered for the day, but you can do it if you want to.
Or do you even want to? Maybe not. Perhaps you stay busy because you have the idea that as long as you are doing something, being productive, your life has some meaning. Could it be that you think people value you and love you because of what you do for them, instead of simply for who you are?
Just one day. Just for you.
Susan
