kinda needed to hear this soo thank you - was just thinking of how my body's craving for consuming junky foods that make me feel bad, resulting in some forced rest shall we say, is me "Phantom Thread-ing" my self, where Vicky Krieps' character poisons DD Lewis' to force him to rest, lol.

That made me laugh, thanks! Glad it found you at the right time. But reading Vicky Krieps without my glasses on meant my brain went “Miss Vicky’s Chips” and now I’m the one who is craving junk food 😅

Pausing is also a very natural thing. Everything in nature honors the need to pause. There's a saying in mountain climbing- rest before you're tired. And I have been learning to trust that. I also think it's a much more sustainable way of living than "earning" rest only after you're completely exhausted or burned out.

Love that. My new recovering people pleaser/overfunctioner mantra is “I include myself in the care I

offer to others.” 🥰
