A Collective Nap

I find comfort in the knowledge that I can't be the only one struggling to cross the finish line of this seemingly endless week.

The collective exhaustion, stress and anxiety, that almost every person I speak to is experiencing is astounding. We need to institute adult nap times. My peers need full resets, my girl gang need a free vacation. I find myself dreaming of finding the answer to very early retirement. 

I've been searching for an idea, example or inspiration for what is normal now. Wondering what I should aspire to or strive towards with little momentum. Meanwhile the pressure to be better than ever is ramping up and the media would have us all believe that there is something called a 'new normal'. Does anyone know what it actually is?

There is nothing normal or better about these times. In fact, I think we should lean in to our exhaustion. Take a nap. Take a break (although maybe not one that involves planes...). Allow yourself to not make a goal, to not make a resolution. I'm going to buck the system and ignore what's being projected my way and instead listen and pay attention to what my brain and body need. 

Be kind. Be purposeful. But above all else, be restful.
