I have noticed that my days generally take on their own “schedule”. Nothing is set in stone because I’ve always been the type of person that needs some fluidity in the way I get things done. When quarantine first started, I was very much about following my intuition. This often included a lot of time journaling and connecting to myself and my needs. As time goes on, I’ve found myself craving a little bit of structure. Instead of going fully one way or the other, I’ve started to automatically create a routine that works off of my intuition and still contains a bit of structure.

Feeling Guilty About Resting

I started thinking about this more and realized that a lot of people struggle with this too. For some people it means that they just don’t stop working. They continue to go and go and go until they crash. For other people it results in immense negative self talk. For others it becomes constant procrastination. Or a whole lot of stressing. All these things can really take a toll on you because not only are you not fully resting, but you also end up being extremely hard on yourself.

The result of this was many blow ups, countless phases of intense anxiety, a lot of crying and essentially a whole lot of confusion.
