I keep re-deciding that "I'm going to spend more time in coffee shops" because it's truly one of my favorite activities... But then.... I don't.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Why is it that we have these lists of things we love doing, yet never make time for them?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I think ALL of our reasons differ, but only slightly. They're always something along the lines of "I don't have time" or "I feel guilty doing something for myself".
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But when we give those excuses, what we're truly saying is "I don't value my happiness and contentment enough to set aside time to do some of the things I love".
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And that's not helping ANYONE.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So do the thing, sis. Have a coffee date. Go get a pedicure. Walk around Target by yourself for a few hours.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do your crafts.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Write your blog.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And most importantly, don't you dare feel a single ounce of guilt.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You deserve to do the things that make you happy. Free from feeling guilty that you could be doing something more productive. Or more important. Or more WHATEVER.
Always.
