🌿 A little reminder that self-care doesn't always mean doing nothing.
Today is a study day for me, with a desk, notebook, laptop and hopefully a little coffee with a friend if my mouth is feeling up to it! ☕😂
But after having a tooth extracted this week, I'm also being reminded that sometimes we need to be flexible with our plans..
Perhaps the studying will happen.
Perhaps the coffee will happen.
Or perhaps I'll need a little more rest.
And that's okay too.
I think sometimes we can put pressure on ourselves to make the most of every day.
To be productive.
To tick things off.
To stick to the plan.
But wellbeing isn't always about having the perfect routine.
Sometimes it's about asking:
What do I realistically have the energy for today?
And being okay with the answer.
So today, I'll be studying where I can, resting where I need to and seeing how the day unfolds.
No gold stars for pushing through.
No guilt if I need to slow down.
Just a little flexibility and kindness to myself.
And perhaps coffee. 🤞😂☕
