A letter to the unproductive

Now, before you start feeling guilty for waking up at 11:30 am and going to sleep at 11:00pm, remember Saturdays are for sleeping. And winters-
for hibernation.
Now, before you start feeling guilty for sitting--
For spending the first half of your day unproductively, remember that there is still a half a day left to go--or three-quarters of a day. These windows of opportunity are there for you to take. And even if you choose not to take it, remember that you, by sheer fact of being you, are valuable.
Give thanks for the ability to breathe, for the gift of wonder, and that you got through the day with your 5 senses in tact.
Take your idle days as opportunities to evaluate what your body is telling you.
Take your messy room as opportunity- to learn lessons about what happens when you start with 1
1 thing at a time.
Take your funk as opportunity- to sit and wrestle with the sources of these feelings and learn about yourself--pushing the walls of your little corner just a little bit further.
A little, that's all, you need.
