Take a break, even if you don't think you deserve one! 😴🖤
Hi!
Do you feel like you don’t have the right to relax?
Like you’re not allowed to rest unless you have explicit permission to do so?
Because I do.
I’ve been working to overcome that feeling my whole adult life.
And these days, I do okay with it. Well, better than I used to.
As long as I don’t have a deadline or an appointment or anything like that, I can pace myself. If I’m lucky, I can even convince myself that it’s alright to take my time and take lots of long-ass breaks.
This week’s been different, though.
Because there’s a big ol’ deadline right in front of me.
We decided to sell the house, so now we have to make it sellable.
Which means cleaning it like we’ve never cleaned it before.
Doing all the minor DIY fixes that we had been putting off.
Figuring out what to label the boxes so no one decides to open one that’s full of butt toys.
And it’s all been very exhausting.
I keep wishing I could just cocoon in bed, but I get anxious when I think about everything that still has to be done. So if I do manage to lie down, I force myself right back up just a few minutes later.
I know I should be taking more breaks, but I feel this big surge of guilt whenever I do.
But tonight, I’m forcing myself to take one.
I’m sitting down in front of the TV for 45 minutes so I can watch Sister Wives. No interruptions. No anxiety - hopefully. Nothing but other people’s drama to give my brain a proper reset.
And you should do the same thing.
Not watching Sister Wives - unless that’s your jam.
But like, give yourself a break without feeling bad about it.
Because stress sucks. Being overworked sucks. And not being able to rest without feeling bad about it sucks even more.
So do whatever soothes ya.
Play a game for an hour or two.
Find somewhere comfy and read for a while.
Take a bath that’s so long your water keeps getting cold.
Masturbate - and really take your time with it. You can even use your butt toys if you haven’t packed them up like I did.
Masturbate in the bath if you want to rest like a pro.
Just let yourself relax. And don’t feel guilty about it, because you’ve got my permission to take it easy.
Love,
Emma ❤
Spend the night in!
Resting alone is great, but relaxing with someone you like can be even better. And watching something super spicy is a great way to unwind together!
