So, it’s 4:30 AM, and you’re staring at the ceiling, wondering what life choices led you here. Welcome to the “Why Am I Awake?” club! That was me this morning. So what does one do when the whole rest of the house is sleeping and you don’t need to actually be awake until 6am?
My brain this morning …
- I definitely could do some work (there is always a never-ending to do list for that).
- I could do laundry (actually, I did switch over a load but stopped there).
- I could just start getting ready that much earlierThose were all of the thoughts that went through my brain. But in the end I think I picked the best choice for my mental health. I ignored my work, ignored the laundry, and put off starting the day. I sat in the quiet house (which is so blissful), drank my big mug of tea, and coloured.
All the while trying to quiet my brain, and tell it, “Yes, colouring is okay. No it’s not “productive” but it’s really good for you to have down time. Breath, you’re okay!”
There’s an insight to my brain that I’m sure you didn’t want to see. Happy Tuesday!
