Sexy Monday - enjoy some time off

Hello and Happy Bank Holiday Monday!

Here in England it's a beautiful, warm sunny day and I'm spending it doing... not all that much actually. My day so far has consisted of:

• breakfast in bed
• yoga
• meditation with Calm app (highly recommended)
• finishing my current audiobook
• sitting outside writing
• not doing any work. At all.

Just for today, let's be really kind to ourselves. If you can, take the day off. Emails will still be there tomorrow, everything you're worrying about will still be there too.

I'm officially giving you permission to give yourself this day to do exactly what you want. Days like this keep us energised and refreshed ready for when it's time to get back to work. And I don't know about you, but I'd like to work to live, rather than live to work. 

So whatever you'd like to do today, go for it. Obviously, given the vibe of this blog it would help if these activities are nourishing and enriching, but stay gentle with yourself. Taking care of yourself like this is so important. I don't want to get to later life and lament the fact that I was just working all the damn time. 

The rest of the day will involve:

• making some vegan chocolate brownies that I've never tried making before
• starting a new audiobook (Light is the New Black by Rebecca Campbell)
• playing the piano
• making a start on a bucketlist - things I want to do before kicking the bucket, so to speak
• sitting in the sunshine and being grateful for the good in my life
• maybe, maybe, going for a little jog in the sun, but no hard feelings if I don't find the time
• cuddling my cat

What are you up to this Bank Holiday Monday?

I'll catch you here in a few days for Sober Wednesday.
