If you are anything like I used to be, your weekends might be a time to catch up, run errands, or get ready for the week ahead. And, on the weekends when you do putter around, take naps, and get absolutely nothing done, you feel guilty, like you didn’t do enough. Instead of figuring out why, or piling on more guilt, give yourself permission to come to a full stop this weekend. Give yourself permission to rest, to breathe, to enjoy your life.
Consider a guilt-free lazy weekend. The guilt won’t change anything anyway, so here is your permission slip and encouragement to tell guilt you won’t be doing much this weekend, except the things you really enjoy. When guilt creeps in and tells you to do more, take a deep breath and say, “Guilt … I appreciate your input, but my heart wants what my heart wants, and it doesn’t want to clean, shop, catch up, or keep up. My heart wants a rest. I want to smile.”
