Days Off

I’ve heard that to be the best at something, you should practice it daily until it becomes muscle memory. However, I think that things that involve a certain level of creativity can’t be practiced daily. At least not on a consistent level. Now hear me out. If I write everyday, taking absolutely no breaks, I’m either going to hate what I’m writing, or burn out. Creativity needs time to blossom, and if you burn through your reserves, nothing will be accomplished. Today, I wanted to write soo bad, but everything in me was just drained. And that’s okay. I have to keep telling myself that it’s okay to take days off, as long as you get back to it. And honestly, the holiday had nothing to do with it. I was probably more along the lines of it’s Sunday and I haven’t had a real day off since last week. I don’t think you guys understand how relaxing it is to just have a full nights sleep. Apparently it’s too relaxing because I didn’t feel up to doing anything today. 🤦🏾‍♀️ So I literally just remembered that I didn’t post this months favorite quote, yet I sat at my computer earl and made the graphic. That’s how out of it I am today. Absolutely insane. So I’m gonna go do that now, and then spend the rest of the night catching up on my DVR. Because taking a day off is necessary for both your emotional and mental health.
