a blessing in disguise

having nothing to do is a blessing in disguise.


sleeping is essential to life considering we all need it in order to survive.

you know what else is essential? rest.

you gotta rest, too.

in that space where you have nothing formally planned, consider leaving it blank.

you put forth your best efforts daily, clearly you are about that action… so sit still for a while.

reflect on the roles pauses play —

our favorite songs have significant pauses placed in them to give our ears a chance to appreciate what it heard

when we speak, we pause to gather our thoughts + to think about what was said before responding.

hell, this email has purposeful pauses strategically placed so that sentences don’t run on forever.

your day doesn’t have to be jam packed with movement.

being a busy body isn’t a badge of honor, either.

sit down, pause, + give yourself a chance to catch your breath, clear your mind, + rest a while.

find your balance. find your peace. pause on purpose.

be you, be dope!
