Yesterday, I told myself that I will just take an hour nap and then do my things because I was really sleepy. I ended up sleeping until morning and broke my writing streak. 😦
I should’ve written my yesterday’s entry but I chose sleep. I always choose sleep regardless of the consequence I will face the next day. Up until this point I am not sure if I am choosing sleeping as self-care or self-protection.
But, what’s the difference? Sleeping because you are tired after working your ass out is self-care while sleeping to escape a task is self-protection. The latter is cowardice creating regretful consequences. Self-care is being smart of knowing when to rest to have the energy to be the best version of yourself.
Yesterday was a self-protection. I was not brave. I gave in to the discomfort my brain was telling me. Something I have to work harder.
