How do you unwind after a demanding day?
The first thing I need to express is that given I no longer work in mental health, I no longer regularly have demanding days. I like that as a writer, I can work at my own pace and don’t have to rush to meet deadlines or others’ expectations of me.
To unwind, I like nothing more to lie on the π couch with Lily on my lap, writing βοΈ, watching television πΊ or getting lost in a good book π. Lily is an essential part of this unwinding. Having her soft, warm, and cuddly presence is like a balm for my soul. She is the reason I value not rushing to be a part of the rat race for anymore. I’ve come to love my relaxed pace of life with her. It is bliss.
