Geez it's ridiculous that I even have to remind myself to breath sometimes. You might think I'm exaggerating, but similar to the way I grind my teeth and clench my jaw without noticing, I find myself forgetting to circulate oxygen through my lungs. Why? Oh, because my life is stressful and I have more on my plate than I can handle.
FALSE. My life is amazing and I'll never have more than I can handle unless I bring it on myself (which I think I unconsciously love to do. Sick.)
Today I needed a day of rest and relaxation. I mean that seriously. I think if I don't take some time to do nothing on behalf of my sanity that I might actually blow a fuse, short a circuit, whatever.
So my nothingness is cleaning my room, finishing my book, and turning up my radio full blast (must to the displeasure of my roommates below me. Please, who am I kidding? They love it). Next step: shower.
A person's history is in the way they view the world. That's where truth is. As Dumbledore said, "Of course it's in your head but why should that make it any less real?"
I totally get the doing nothing thing. My favorite form of doing nothing is to sit on my patio once the 2yo is napping, the 5yo is watching a movie, and the patio is in the shade. I sit and stare at the flowers and hope that my neighbors don't think I need therapy. Sitting out there doing nothing IS my therapy!
