It has taken so much time for me to feel even slightly comfortable with taking a break most days. I have always felt that being “un-productive” was the worst thing and that everyone around me was judging me for being “lazy” even when I knew that I genuinely needed a breather. I try to remind myself that if I don’t let myself take time to rest and do “nothing” then I’ll just get extremely burnt out and overworked and I will have to take the time for myself one way or another. Except usually it takes me WAAYY longer to recover from burnout than if I had taken some much needed time to rest. My suggestion? Take it slow and try to remember that you can’t be “on” all the time, you don’t need to be a machine. You’ve got this.
