I really feel this too - it's still so hard to eliminate that guilt even though we all know how important rest is! I have way more ideas and can assess my strengths and output etc. etc. so much more easily when I'm doing restful activities. I think we need more shouting about this - that it actually makes you better in all other areas when you embrace rest fully :)
I totally feel the same way - I feel so much clear-headed and creative if I've had enough rest! I'm hoping the guilt will dissipate a bit if we make rest a habitual part of our routines, rather than something to be earned. I hope you can take it easy on yourself!
I feel this! I've hugely changed up what I'm putting my energy towards this year and it comes with so much guilt. That being said, allowing myself more downtime (my full lunch break, no email weekends) has also meant I can give my best during the work week. Try to take it easy on yourself! I've found the ability to switch off so helpful to recharge for when I need to switch on. Loving this anti-grind moment.
Haha I feel like I'm having a big anti-grind moment right now, anything I try to write ends up pivoting to productivity/work/burnout somehow 😂 but on a different note, that's exactly how I feel! I know it's better for me to take rest seriously - both for my productivity and mental health - but it's hard not to feel guilty about it. Hope you can take it easy on yourself too! (on yet another note - I love your writing! I found your piece on auditioning for the Bachelor the other day and it made me laugh so much)
Oh that is so kind! You're the best! And the productivity/work/burnout writing never gets old. I've been loving everything you've been writing recently. X
