Trusting Yourself When You Need to Take a Break
Rest is part of the work
Trust Yourself to Let Your Mind Rest
Quiet it.
Forget about the deadlines for a bit.
Breathe in.
Leave the screens after this.
Daydream.
Let your mind be
for longer than you normally would.
Trust yourself
and think about nothing for a while.
Just let your mind be.
It will be worth it.
Your mind will be clearer,
and nothing will be missed.

Trust Yourself to Let Your Body Rest
Relax it.
Move aimlessly for a bit.
Stretch it.
Schedule a dance after this.
Sleep a little longer tomorrow.
Snuggle in
for longer than you normally would.
Trust yourself
and do nothing for a while.
It will be worth it.
You will feel better in your body,
and nothing will be amiss.
Trust Yourself to Refuel Your Spirit.
Enrich it with good knowledge,
Enjoy the goodness of nature.
Renew your good energy.
Let go of the ills.
Immerse yourself in beauty after this.
Listen to your kind of music
for longer than you normally would.
Trust yourself
and do nothing for a while.
It will be worth it.
You will be recharged,
and nothing will be missed.
