I told myself after yesteday that I wasn't going to lie around in bed all morning today, but what did I do - stay in bed until 12 on my phone despite how UTTERLY BEAUTIFUL it is outside.
Well alright. Can't change the past; getting a load of laundry in while having a late cuppa and cake; once it's out to dry I am going to walk to Fairfield (3.8km away) and back to get bulk wool wash and the tortillas I had been planning to make jackfruit tacos with.
Then home to do a whole bunch of cooking and an online catchup with an overseas friend.
I wonder if my lazing around so much on weekend mornings is due to the sheer amount of caffeine I have during the week. Brain needs to recover from all the adenosine receptors being flooded.
Is it lazing around, or resting? Make sure you're getting enough recovery time. Everything's always busy but that's not always great for our bodies or brains.
There's resting, where I legit don't wake up till 8 or 9, which is fine. Then there's scrolling on my phone til 12 which I don't think is really resting ... Especially not two days in a row. I don't mean to overtire myself, but I'm also conscious of needing some baseline momentum for my physical and mental health... I do feel better and more capable of meaningful rest if I do things like wake up and go for a walk but I don't often end up doing it.
