Just a Day Of Rest

Letting the World Off My Shoulders for a Day

I need sleep—not because I’m lazy, but because in this moment daily duties are heavy. Just in need a little time off of my daily drive and errands, not to mention work.

Not just for my body, but for my mind, my spirit, a moment to breathe.

The weight of doing, showing up, holding space for everyone… it has caught up with me. And instead of pushing through like I usually do, I would love to let go for a moment.

“Floods” a moment of peace.

I let the world spin without me for today and getting things done without me, and my necessary presence getting things done.

No calls, No emails. No fixing. No overthinking. Just stillness. Just softness. I want to give myself permission to rest without guilt—to close my eyes and trust that everything would be okay if I wasn’t holding it up for a while.

Because sometimes the strongest thing you can do for me, help me stop, having a moment of nothing to do, with nothing important but everything I want to do for the day.

A part of me inside start to come back together. With one moment of nothing to do.

A quiet kind of healing. A reminder that I’m not a machine. I’m a person. We need to put it all down sometimes, even the things I care most about.

Today, I wish there was a day I could choose rest. Not because I’m weak—but because I’ve carried enough.
