I feel like this might be my year of personal growth. Especially as Aspies, most of us try to learn the rules and follow them. But hey, rules were meant to be broken 😉 I've always struggled with perfectionism. As a busy mum of three, who also wears a number of work hats, trying to get everything done is a battle of the never-ending to-do list 😵💫 So the rule has changed to, "I do not have to finish everything to be worthy of rest", which are the sage words of Dominee from .
I've always felt guilty for resting, when there are still things on the list, but no more! And what is rest? Well, it will be something different to everyone. Here's some of the things that feel like rest to me; catching up with friends who fill up my battery, watching trashy TV shows, reading books that transport me into different lives and times, spending time with my family, holidays 📖📺✈️ Take a moment in your busy day to reflect on whether you're taking those moments to rest (if I can do it, you can too!), and what they look like for you 🤔 Feel free to post your reflections.
