Why do I still feel tired after a break?
A day off that fills up with tasks may leave very little room to rest. Sometimes what you need is time with nothing to organise and nobody waiting for you.
The calendar says you are free. The day says something else. There is shopping to finish, a cupboard to sort, someone to call, a little work that will only take ten minutes.
By evening, you have completed a great deal. You have not quite had a day off. Being away from the office is not always the same as being free from the work of keeping everything going.
Perhaps one small part of the day could remain unclaimed. A cup of tea without a task beside it. A walk without an errand at the end. An hour that does not need to improve you.
If another person can take care of a meal or a decision, let the help be help. You do not have to repay every quiet minute by doing twice as much afterwards.
At Raya Vira, we think about the food, the room and the pace in advance. For a few hours, arriving is all you have to do.
With love,
Raya Vira
