It’s Okay to Play

Now and then, I get a little bit overwhelmed with all of the things I am doing.

It’s an interesting problem for someone who can’t sit still for long to find themselves feeling like their brain is twirling like the loading wheel of a computer. But it does happen.

For me, this is the edge of burnout, a sign that I need to stop for a bit and just let my brain play.

This month, between coaching, writing, traveling, editing, and all the mundane daily things, I hit that place, so instead of an author post about my writing, or my time in the Navy, or even a short  spurt of poetry or flash fiction, I give you this simple message (TBH-As much or more for me than you.):

It’s okay to play…

…to do the bare minimum,

…to set aside the hard work,

…to put off the millions of decisions,

…to ignore the chores,

…even the writing,

…and play for a while.

All those things will wait for you…

And they will be easier to face refreshed.

Trust me.

It’s okay to play.
