Hey. What’s up?
It’s ok to be unproductive, think of it as resting and it is a weekend afterall.
And don’t be so hard on yourself. You’re not stupid at all.
Thanks sometimes I feel like there's really only two days to myself and it's never enough to recharge as well as get non work things done and it's a waste but I guess some times you just gotta do nothing so your body and brain takes a break from the constant churning...
I do have to say it’s different from one person to the next in their needs and how they feel about it. Some people can never switch off from work and I that’s fine if they accept that and aren’t burning themselves out.
But you should never doubt or feel bad for actually taking the time to rest and recharge even if it amounts to actually not doing much. It’s part of the process and it’s natural.
Sooner or later if you don’t get enough rest your body will shut down for you and force it on you.
And yes you do sometimes have to just take away and let your mind rest if you feel that’s what you need but don’t feel bad if you need to do that ok?
Thank you! I'm not good at remembering that particularly during times of stress. Will take it easy and get some quality recharge time in!
