SL 365 | Day 29 | "Self-Love doesn't Stress"

We live in a world that expects us to go-go-go, and do more-more-more. In reality, though, there are only so many hours in the day--and some are needed for downtime. If we start to feel pressed for time, we start to feel stressed. Then, we start rushing. But rushing or working harder/faster doesn't bring more hours to our day. In fact, it makes time pass by more quickly! And we certainly don't enjoy those hours. If you start feeling stressed and overworked in your daily life, then it's going to affect your self-love practice. You may feel like you don't have time to love yourself. (In fact, taking breaks is an integral part of a healthy self-love practice.) So remember that time is finite, there's no benefit to rushing, and you're only one person. For your mantra today, remind yourself: I deserve to take a break. Move slowly today, and see how it feels.
