Welp. We finally got it. COVID that is. It's super mild for both of us luckily, but wow it still felt a little shocking to get a positive result.
Angelo and I somehow have both managed to escape the throes of this virus for over two years, even though we live in a big city and still have a social life.
The majority of the time, when there was a "surge", we just so happened to be out of town. That or when we had people coming over, hours before they arrived sometimes, they'd call us to tell us they were positive and cancel.
Saved by the bell, right?
It almost seemed like we were in that movie where the guy bends backwards as things come flying at him, escaping the objects by a blink of an eye (this is probably a lot of movies lol, my pop culture references are pretty bare bones).
But yeah...when we found out, we committed to REST. Our symptoms are so incredibly mild, and yet we both know better than to push through.
What's weird to me is that, even though my body was craving rest before we got a result, I didn't feel like I had a good reason. But this? This felt like the perfect "excuse" to rest. To lay on the couch for hours and do "nothing."
That's because we operate in a society that's afraid of the off switch. Afraid of curling up and getting cozy for "too long." Afraid of taking breaks. And me? I had to confront my own fear of rest.
What's funny is that I recorded this video before all this and it's exactly what I needed to hear this week. Divine timing, right? If you're afraid of resting or taking a break, regardless of the situation, this is for you.
In it, I share...
