Wow. This sure resonates. Especially as some of our Christmas plans got cancelled. I was flooded with gratitude for a week of rest. That I ended up spending time “getting ahead of things” telling myself I’d rest on vacation in a few weeks.
I love the questions you pose and how you mention the guilt creeping in. I don’t think I paused long enough for my guilt. I even filling my week with all these things had to be done and they were less stressful to do when I wasn’t working.
I am going to reflect on this notice more my relationship with rest.
That makes so much sense. I think a lot of us do that, unexpected space shows up, and it quietly turns into “this is a great time to get ahead.” Especially when it actually does feel easier without the usual pressure.
I love that you noticed it and are reflecting on your relationship with rest. Thanks for sharing this, it’s such a relatable experience.
