I answered this daily prompt in August of last year. I am revisiting it to say the things that cause me not to relax are still present. I do what I can to relax, but it’s hard for me. Being able to relax is important, and it’s taking me awhile to figure out to do more of it. But when I do relax I like to blog, watch TV, listen to podcasts, and cook breakfast on a Saturday morning. I do enjoy working on computer stuff too.
It is hard for me to relax. Often times I find myself having the need to do something. As a people pleaser, my radar runs continuously with the expectation of someone asking me to do something. Even as I write this I feel like I should be more productive. It’s hard for me to give myself permission to just chill out. This is something I need to figure out. People have given me permission to relax, I just need to accept it as a grown person who should be able to make their own rules. I need to calm the “F” down. seriously.
