Great post! I struggle with such thoughts a lot.

I guess I need to go through the following words at least once every week and keep telling myself that....it'll be okay :).

'Maybe resting is not only allowing yourself to accept yourself as enough. Maybe it’s also accepting that you get to say I am doing less than enough and that’s ok too.

Maybe that’s even when it really counts as rest. Not that you are so depleted or exhausted by life that you must take a break.

But that you take a break just because you’re human and you choose to take one.'

This was so great to read. I found equanimity in this post. For the last few months, I have been secretly enjoying not doing as much or better than I have in the past and also feeling a bit guilty that I haven’t been “contributing” to world “good” as much and failing my self appointed role of being “a good girl”. I don’t know where it will lead, it’s a mystery. I do find myself dreaming of so many things I can do- and also finding that some of those dreams can be fulfilled in my heart and imgaination without ever touching the earth. What a gift it has been to read this post and the replies. Thank you.
