If the quote "all work and no play" was a person, I think I would be the perfect fit for Jack, especially since late last year till this very moment, as you know, fashion designing is one of the busiest and tasking profession, I rarely find myself having the time to rest or flex, let's just say a 'me-time' not until my body is overworked and has no option than to send a distress signal, mostly through back or general body pain to remind me to take that much needed rest, because life has no duplicate, and those who I sacrifice my rest time to make them happy won't think twice about getting a replacement if I was no more, thinking about it, that doesn't make them a bad person but rather a way for me to be reminded that while I take care of others through my work, I also need to learn to take care of myself as well. I need to learn to prioritize my own needs and make sure I'm not putting myself last especially when it becomes a habit, I need to take the time to take care of myself and make sure I'm healthy so I can be there for the people I care about.

One of my resolutions for the new year is to give myself enough of that me time, my usual routine for the day usually involves me preparing and dropping my children at their school, engaging on hive still during the morning hours, although I am on hive in between all activities of the day, then set out to start my fashion business, which involves, cutting or sewing, and sometimes market days, there is mostly time no time to rest during the day, but I am intentional about creating that me/rest moment, so I took the day off from sewing today, allow myself be in light clothing, you can call it a pyjama, take a nap I have deprived my self of for some weeks now, including the late night duties, it seems today was a payback day as I couldn't fight the urge to sleep off that feeling of zombie I've been carrying about for days now due to lack of sleep, and by the time I was awake, i truly felt what the word refreshed mean, sleep may be like an unnoticeable activity for most people, but for me, that state of inactivity is so much more than a treasure to me. I felt energized and ready to take on anything that comes my way. Taking time off to rest is essential for my mental and physical health, and I'm grateful for finding the time to enjoy it. And it is the best part that makes my day feel refreshed, if you've ever suffered insomnia, you would understand me better. I hope someday I don't get to overstress myself like I do now to meet up needs, and then I can create a balance between my working/rest period.
