As I get older into adulthood I feel like more and more things require my attention. Trying to juggle work, family, home maintenance etc I’m constantly busy. I can almost never find time to rest because there is always something that has to be done. How do you find time to rest and cope with the stress but also get the things on your plate complete?
The thing is you can always do more and be even busier. The whole “work now, play later” works in childhood, but it’s not realistic in adulthood. There’s always more to do. If you feel like you need a break, take that time off for yourself. If you don’t, your body will take that time off for you, if you like it or not, and it will probably be more time that you would have spent having fun. When you do take time off, try to focus on your free time and don’t focus on the stuff you still need to do. Allow yourself to not think about work. Relaxing is important.
