THE GOAL IN LIFE IS TO ENJOY IT.

I genuinly can't remmeber the last time I gave myself a day to literally not do anything. I used to give myself Sunday's to have free reign and do whatever I want, even if that meant nothing. It used to be so freeing to give myself permission to just recharge. I don't know when it stopped, but I think I need a day like that again. I think everyone does.
A day like today can just get everything out of your system. That feeling of being drained can just go away from a day of pure freedom. It's funny because I have literally given mysefl the freedom to do what I like everyday through my career as filmaker except for the freedom to do nothing. But on this sunday I have given myself that freedom and for the first time in a while I don't feel tired. I feel myself regaining energy. Even away from physically, but I am mentally recharging. I still wrote 5 pages today, but because I wanted to. Then I decided to watch some video essays on my favourite video games. I made myself breakfast and now I'm chilling on my sofa writing this blog.
A day where you have the freedom to do nothing, doesn't mean you do nothing, but I think having the freedom to do whatever you want is enough. I'm probably going write again today, which is more then I wrote yesterday. Maybe that's because I have let go of any pressure. I am just effortlessly doing what I like. In a way I guess that's how life should feel. Effortless. At the very least that's how it should be when it comes to how we make most decisions. It shouldn't be effort to make the decision to sit down and open your laptop tp get work done or go to the gym or cook a meal. There should be no resistance. But that's all resistance is... indecision.
I am deciding today to simply enjoy it. I'm just going to do the things I love, talk to the people I want to talk to and be present in the moment. My impulse to scroll on socials, I'm allowing it to happen without guilt. My impulse to laze about on the sofa. I'm allowing it to happen. And by simply allowing it to happen, I end up not even doing it for that long before I move onto something I actually want to be doing.
It feels good to give myself this day to enjoy. Then tomorrow I go HAM again, but this time around, without putting as much pressure on myself, being well rested and focused.
Also, if you are reading this, thank you. To take the time to press the link and read this blog... It just means a lot and I'm hope you enjoy every time.
Have a beautiful day. Enjoy it.
