It is okay to rest
I’ve taken a week vacation from work. When you add the normal days off, that comes to a full ten days of not being physically at my workplace, but it is more than that. It’s not doing the daily commute, not doing meal prep, not stopping at the grocery store on the way home, as well as not having the stresses that come with any job - even a job you like
On my first day off, I was feeling very burnt out. Despite my internal desire to go adventure, I did not want to drive anywhere or hike anything or even meet a friend at 11am for our scheduled plans. Instead, I went to the very local park on my e-bike and read a book
Then I set an alarm for Thursday morning at 5:55am to go hiking and…
Had a liesurly breakfast, did some tinkering with my computer and hung out with my babies
And again, I set an alarm for 5:55 to go hiking and…
…didn’t
That’s where I decided to write this blog. I am feeling the need to go be productive. I have time off work, therefore I should spend it doing the things I love: hiking, exploring, and having adventure!!!
Man, I’m just tired. I don’t want to drive anywhere in traffic. Costs of gas for adventures has gone up. Work has been difficult lately as bosses get increasingly stressed by the fact that we’re not selling. We all are on edge because none of us are making enough money. Everybody worried we going to get fired for some dumb excuse becuase then bossman can hire someone else that will crush it and show us all up. None of the new hires ever crush it. They either slowly build into a solid salesman or quit
It’s okay to relax. Capitalism tells us that laziness is the worst sin, it’s a crime against the Productivity Gods.
You must have your main hustle, your side hustle, and vacation should be spent consuming as much consumerism as possible. Go into debt so you can buy an airplane ticket, an expensive hotel, eat out at restaurants, and buy souvenir. Maybe even sell your affiliate links on your travel blog of most best places to eat in [insert city here]
Yeah, I’m going to chill with my baby for a bit longer than take a slow e-bike to a park and have some book time and remember that my existance isn’t to produce
Seriously, I exist to be loved by this cat
