Today was the first day in a very long time that I had no jobs, work or anything else of the like scheduled. I didn’t even have to leave the house. It was amazing. I slept in, ate leftovers and sweet Christmas treats all day, coloured in my new Harry Potter colouring book, played Mass Effect and watched Netflix. I forget sometimes just how good a day of rest is for the mind and body.

It really is important to take time out from the craziness of day to day life and just spend some time recuperating and doing the things you love. It is not all about work, rest and play are just as key to a fulfilled life. I need to remember this more and make sure to take time out for me more often. It can be hard with the pressures from work and other areas of life often taking more of a front seat. But I am determined next year to try to get some more balance in my life. We’ll see how that goes :p
