Lazy Days Are Allowed, Because It’s Okay to Have a Down Day!🌻

Lazy Kind of Day!

I had several things on my to-do list today. Things like…

1. Finish editing for the publishing company.
2. Complete the first draft of my prologue.
3. Laundry.
4. Clean up my emails.
5. Complete the marketing questionnaire for the publishing company.
6. Write my blog before noon.
7. Go to the gym.
8. Play a little ESO with my sister.

Can you guess what did and didn’t happen?

Only two things actually happened from this list today:

1. Laundry.
2. Playing ESO with my sister for the majority of the day.

I did write this piece (you’re reading it, so clearly I did write it). But I didn’t finish it before noon.

So… today was a lazy kind of day. Is there anything wrong with having a lazy day?
No, we need them. Every now and again, it’s good to take a day off… from almost everything.

I got everyone fed either before I started gaming or during a break. Laundry was done during short breaks. Dogs were let out during short breaks. Dinner was made and eaten during a break.

I had fun gaming with my sister, even though she is in another state. We were able to connect and have fun together.

Spending a day relaxing, playing, reading, and doing things that are not on your list of “to-do” is okay.

As my day is starting to wind down — or up (I am a night owl and tend to do more after midnight) — I’m accepting that I didn’t get very much done. But I’m not going to be upset with myself.

I will have to do more tomorrow to make up for my down day, but I’m still okay with my Sunday.

So, I want to ask you… do you ever take a full day off? When you do, do you get upset or down on yourself for having a lazy day? Why is it considered taboo to take a down day?

So, let’s give ourselves permission to have lazy or down days.
Permission has been given… at least I give myself permission. You will have to give yourself permission. Sound good?

Have a great week, and may it be filled with hugs, love, laughter, and blessings.
Goodnight!😴
