How are you doing this week?
I've spent the past week just letting things be, and letting the summer take hold.
Sleeping in, staying up late, easing into things that need to get done instead of just jamming in a bunch of chores, and taking the breaks when they're given to me. Even with everything happening in the world, I'm taking the time I've been given to allow myself to breathe.
Honestly, it's more about changing my mindset to see this period as a gift instead of a hurdle that must endured and overcome. And its strange - and rather surprising - because letting go has brought me back to that feeling of being a kid, when the summer meant endless opportunities for discovery, and joy seemed to be around every corner.
I realize my privilege in being able to make these choices for myself. And I'm grateful. But even if it's only for an hour, let yourself slow down. It'll be worth it. And the world will be there when you get back up, I promise.
Here are a few things that have brought me joy this week, and I hope do the same for you, wherever, and however, you may be.
