Back to Basics


I came to visit my friend Mia this weekend and we had all these plans of roller skating, going out to eat, and getting out by the pool. Then I got here and we both realized how exhausted we were so we got a little exercise in on Saturday morning to give ourselves a kick start, but then just ended up staying in for the rest of the day.


Around 5 pm we decided we wanted some Starbucks so I put in a mobile order and we picked up our iced apple crisp latte && warm apple crisp latte (both with oatmilk, yes It’s delicious you should try it) and we rode around for a little while, then got a wild hair and decided to go back to the house and fix our hair and make up && ended up doing an impromptu photo shoot in her bed room. That was good for me bc I haven’t really felt comfortable in front of the camera since I’ve gained so much weight from being on the anti-depressant, I’m no longer on it but still working to get the weight off of me, I’ve just been feeling funky for a while about my body so I haven’t really been in the mood to have a photo shoot with myself, if you know me, you know how weird that is for me.


Anyways I’ll digress bc I didn’t write this post to talk about body positivity- I wrote it to talk about how Mia and I continued to enjoy the rest of the weekend, just getting back to basics, a lot of rest and relaxation, watching Netflix, chilling, catching up, doing our make up for no reason, and just having fun being silly.


I think sometimes, especially now a days, because we live in such a fast paced world thats dictated by what we see others doing on social media, we forget how important it is to practice the art of doing nothing, that it’s okay sometimes to be absolutely worthless and lay around and just recharge. Our weeks are filled with conversations, meetings, early days, late nights getting home after a work grind, documenting, running around, exercising, exerting ourselves physically at work (speaking for myself here I’m a therapist so I do a lot of transferring other people much bigger than me) anyways, basically we are ALWAYS doing something during a typical work week and it’s nice to be able to slow down and really just do nothing. I used to call myself “lazy” when I would practice this art, but really it’s not lazy when you’re doing it to take care of yourself, and saying the word lazy just attaches a negative connotation to the art of doing nothing.


My daddy used to always tell me how much I would slow down on the weekends before I started my job. “You’re not going to be wanting to go on all these trips on the weekends when you start working full time. Sometimes you’re just going to want to stay home and do nothing”


And dag-nab-bit if he wasn’t right. I get so excited to do nothing on weekends when Friday rolls around, get home, throw my pjs on, enjoy a good nap on the couch while a show plays.


Try to remember that sometimes it’s okay to do nothing, rest and relax and really get that recharge your mind, body, and spirit need to reset.


That’s all for now, until next time


What do you like to do to recharge?


xoxo
