I saw a great quote this morning and thought, "Yeah. I need to take heed." This is what it said...
I've just more recently realized this about myself. I glorify busy. I glorify a strong work ethic and so what happens there is that, if I feel spent, I must must must keep working regardless of whether or not I actually need to. There's some guilt hidden in there somewhere, I think.
Anyhow, a few days ago I somehow busted my wrist. Now I've got it bandaged up so I don't injure it any further. But what this has forced me to do is slow down (because all I can do is use the top part of my fingers on my left hand to sew and make and do- which is tricky).
So I'm reevaluating the virtue of busy because, right now, I have no choice.
I think I'll take a few relaxing breaks throughout my day to pop on some records and stare off for just a bit. It'll fake me into feeling like I've got a day off. It's a start...
