How has everyone been since they last posted? Is there anything we can do as a community to help you?
Is there anything you would like to talk about but don’t want to make a whole post about it?
I’d love to hear from everyone if you are feeling up to responding and chatting about how you are doing.

I had plans to get things done on this day off. Yet I’m exhausted sitting on the couch, one half of my brain is saying it’s ok, it’s self care, I haven’t done this in months. The other half is scolding myself for not getting anything done. 😔
I agree with the part of you that says it's self-care. We all need downtime, especially if it's been a long time since you've been able to enjoy a whole day or real rest.
Absolutely nothing wrong with chilling on the couch on a day off! But also, doing things can be big for self care too, when the things are important. If it helps to frame it that way. I find the important questions are how urgent something actually is, and how much of a relief it might be for future me if the thing is done. If it can actually wait and I'm just being anxious or self deprecating because of bad habits, then I'll just chill unless I feel up to the task. If doing the task would be self care for my future self, sometimes that framing is just the kind of motivation I needed to get started.
Talking to your future self is a good idea, thank you. 💜
